[Harv748]

Yep..the reason I ask is slightly long-winded, but basically I have fitted some Ohilns forks and P4 calipers on my 748 bip from a 996R, and yet they appear to fit straight on, although I have kept the original 748 bip discs and front wheel?!?!

If the 996/8R runs with offset discs...does this mean that my whole set up is slightly out of alignment now somehow...or what? If it was (say by 5mm each disc, then surely it would be obvious and the calipers wouldn't fit over the discs?) or do the offset discs from a 996/8R allow for a different width hub or summut?

If someone could measure the distance on their R model...it would be interesting to see if the distance between the discs are the same as what I have here.

I was aware of this difference when I bought the forks/calipers, and thought I would buy some discs aswell, but when I offered the set-up up to the bip front wheel...the caliper distance and disc distance appeard the same...and when I fitted the forks...all went together perfect?!?!?!

Go figure
