Wayne I think the front brake discs on the Panigale are spaced further apart than on the 1098/1198 , in order to get better air flow over discs , apparently. I may be talking complete bollocks , It wouldn't be the first time. Kev However I am sure they would fit my MTS , if you were thinking about throwing them away. As a friend , I wouldnt charge you much for disposing of them.
As @KevR correctly suggested, the Panigale disks are placed further out on the front wheel to improve air flow and cooling.
I thought you preferred the 1198 as a track bike. If you want to put the new tyres from the 1098R wheels on your Panigale , there is a bloke on Ashby Road , who sells and fits part worn track tyres that would do it cheap , or Riders in Midway ( near Clock Garage ) charge £10 per wheel. Botty has got the phone no of the bloke on Ashby Road. It doesnt happen very often !!!! How come Ben gets a thanks for the information I had just given you , and I get SFA.
I think I do,but fancied a change.ive been to dougie on ashby road a few times,and riders just fitted the new tyres on the r wheels
1098R wheels on a Pani.. You need wheel spacers for the front and spacers for the discs plus longer disc bolts. Marchesini do a kit
They look very nice on the Panigale. Wayne There is your answer , you've got about 4 weeks to get it sorted before we have to drop bikes at donington for transport to Almeria. I would imagine the 1098R wheels are a fair bit lighter than your original Panigale wheels.
