Hi, Iv just bought a complete 1199 swing arm for my 899 and am now looking for a rear wheel and tyre if anyone has one sat about . Thanks Rich
A 1200S monster wheel will fit. Still miles lighter then the std 899 wheel and cheaper then Pani wheels.
@bettes thanks for the heads up on the info, I actually really like the look of the wheel design too. Iv just found one on ebay for £250 reckon that's a decent price? Can you actually use the standard 899 wheel with the single sided swingarm? Thanks Rich
No mate, no way of fitting a std 899/959 wheel to fit the single sided arm… I managed to pick up a mint 1200S rear wheel up for £160 but that was cheap. Keep looking, one will pop up.
That's exactly what iv just offered . Thanks for letting me know about the 1200s wheels fitting, as was looking at £800 before .
Will this one fit?. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-M...2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
I'm not massively worried about the weight as its a closer wheel design to my original 899 front wheel, but love the monster wheel u sent the picture of! I just don't want to buy one that dosent fit.
Thanks Andy, do you reckon it's heavier than my standard 899 rear wheel? I'm not massively worried about weight, but at the same time I don't want a concrete block on the back of my bike!!
I bought a Hyper 950SP front wheel and a 1299S rear wheel, both forged, both the same spoke pattern. By comparison, concrete is an apt analogy for the Multistrada cast wheel. Having now put those wheels on my track project, the handling of my road Multistrada with the OE cast wheels, is not as sharp, still fun but not as sharp. Andy
Mine has. They’re from an 1198 and I got them coated. Monster wheels will most likely go on a Pani swinging arm but the Marchesini forged wheels are much lighter. Hang out I’d say.
Thanks again for all the above comments and help. I have now bought the 1200 monster wheel and am now ready to start the conversion, I'll add some before and after pictures when complete. Thanks again Rich
