749 Swing Arm Change Questions

your pictures dont work...eccentric washers do you mean the offset alloy parts that sit in the frame?

as i remember the spindle spacers bearings etc are both the same..

 

you mean these... i think all 749 999 had them

 

No 2 on both styles of arm...

 

Will the exhaust fit

 

Early 749's didn't have the Swing Arm pivot adjustment by the looks of the part diagrams

 

So the adjusters won't fit your frame:

 

I know it's only a representation but the first post shows an oval boss.

 

Same image used from the 999 on the Parts Fiche, that's a 2003 749 frame in the pic and the Op will be able to verify if he has a round hole

 

Pivot shaft too short...or are they same numbers?

 

Not sure - part lists show same as 916, 996, 748 so maybe an error. I have a new boxed Kit Black Swingarm which came with all the parts for the swap in 2003. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have another Pivot Bolt, it does come with a different brake line and also a template to cut for clearance at the rear of the fairing...

 

Parts books from 03 749 to 06 999 all have the same pivot shaft part number and show the same oval washer with part number 75610071A, 748 pivot shaft has a different number to the 749/999 one

 

What about for the prototype frames?

 

Not on-line where I'm looking: they don't show the oval bit on the 749 - the 2003 999 does show the same pivot shaft though, but cross referencing the 749 doesn't show the 999 on the listing - I think the shaft is the same, 749 frame is round and not oval from the pic I posted earlier...

 

Hang on

 

I don't have a parts book for Exige's special so who knows

 

Have you been welding again?

 

I have parts books for 749 and 749S issued in Oct 02 and Mar 03, and they both show the oval "Eccentric", what it says online may differ. Not sure what the current book download from Ducati.com says for the MY03 however.
