Long shot but does anyone have a set of disc spacers for sale that allows you to mount a 1098 front wheel onto a Panigale?
If you know all the dims I could lasercut some for you mate, as long as it works out for sheet thicknesses I keep in.
See if you can get in contact with @MartinT? https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threa...wheel-spacers-fitting-kit.65368/#post-1208441
absolutely nothing wrong with the wheels. Just buying some carbon BST’s cheap that are designed to fit a 1098 so need the spacers to fit the panigale.
Thanks guys, I was wondering why somebody had gone to the bother of manufacturing spacers. Not knowing anything about the later bikes I didn't realise they had wider track forks/yokes. So thanks for the detailed explanation Sev.
My May also be about price/availability. My reason was that a set of 1098R wheels came up at great price at the right time!
I'm after a spacer kit also. I think the axle spacers are needed also, so 2 x disc spacers at 7.5mm thick, 2 x axle spacers of unknown length, plus longer disc bolts to accommodate the thicker disc + spacer. Have been unable to get through to Martin T of Taylors. Will try FE.
Morning I had the same problem trying to source spacers . Got so frustrated in the end went and bought a set of Marchesini spacers from Desmo racing off the tinterweb. Chuffing expensive but came with everything you need . Thought I'd rather have the wheels on the bike than sat on the shelf
Good point! Although my wheels have Supercorsa BSB's on atm, not the best for a British winter. Gives me a couple of months to source spacers before I get an itchy throttle hand!
So…. I paid the handsome sum of £300 to brembo / Marchesini for the factory spacer kit after struggling to find any in the UK. They are amazing! Now I’m speaking to a machinist about making a few sets up that won’t cost £300 if anyone is interested. I have no price yet on how much it’s going to cost and I suppose will come down to how many I order. if anyone is interested, no obligation just pop a comment on and it’ll give me a ballpark figure of how many sets to have made up.
They were yeah, but I didn’t need the machinist to make some bolts bolts will be supplied with the kit of course
Just a comment from my side as i have been using a set of these on my 1198 wheels. due to the length of the right side wheel spacer it sometime drops out when refitting after tire changing. I ordered a set of Spider spacers that have a chamfered outer edge to see what a difference it makes. maybe a consideration if you getting some knocked up?
Cheers Nathan, yeah I run the Spider ones on my pani and was going to look at captive spacers for the kit. Nothing worse than balancing a wheel with one hand and fishing around on the floor for the spacer with the other Definitely worth an ask.
