999 999s Front Wheel

  1. Hello everybody I’ve just had the wheels powder coated on my 999 unfortunately I can’t see the arrow mark for the direction I can make out the date stamp. Can somebody confirm whether that is on the left-hand side of the wheel as you sit on the bike or on the right hand side of the wheel.
    Cheers Paul
     
  2. Little ducati logo is on the right side.

  8. The throttle side as you sit on the bike?

  9. The webbing of the spokes is external on the left and internal on the right. They don't otherwise mirror each other, so maybe to equalise their respective weights? If I was at the garage I'd look at the bike, because otherwise I still don't see that it would matter which way round they are. Unlike with the tyres.

    Where does the speedo drive come from?

    (Notwithstanding forgetting about the exhaust stubs, this is what all the plastic does. It would have been unthinkable not to know where everything was on a Meriden Triumph. Notwithstanding forgetting about the exhaust stubs).

  10. It picks up on a sensor on the back wheel of the disc

  11. Thanks, Sev
    I’m a little bit confused
    The right hand side of the wheel ( the side with the stampings) bearing socket is 18.59 millimetres
    The other side is 18.19 millimetres according to my vernier?!?
    I’m a bit flummoxed
    Cheers Paul
     
  12. Filipino, you’re making my head hurt even more now ;-)
     
  13. So you don't fit the tyre backwards.
     
  14. Yes, sorry I should’ve put that in quotes. That’s what I meant about the arrow. It’s there for a reason.
     
  15. That's a standard cast wheel.

    You're saying that's a fake?
     
  17. That's not a forged wheel.

  19. A real standard rim? That's a relief!

  20. Actually I think it is. It's not a sticker.

    Luckily what I actually wanted was a set of standard wheels.


    Which I bought on this forum.
