Guys
I am missing a swingarm bolt!
They look special!
Any idea where I can find a replacement?
Can anyone sell me a replacement?
Any help or thoughts appreciated.

Sorry, neither
What I can do for you is take all the dimensions of the one I've just taken apart if that's any help?
Just a thought, I could price up having a Ti spindle made and then sell you my standard spindle _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)

Reading the forum it occurs to me that the Ducatis look to have a lot of familiar parts. Will have a look.
Oily, I assume the spindle comes with the two bolts? _________________ Current Bikes: SB6 Crescent; SB6 (red and white); SB6 (Not red and white) |

Chinese whispers at work.
I don't need a spindle, I need a bolt (and the black plastic frame cap that used to cover it)
Could be my terminology.
The swing arm is fixed to the base of the frame at the pivot point via a brass coloured bolt on either side. The bolts are under the black plastic frame caps.One is missing, presumably it fell off! Previous owner issue I suspect but too long ago to go there.
When I checked, remaining bolt on the other side was loose also. I reckon my Black/Red Bimota should bark its turning out to be such a dog this summer! Ho hum, I recall the wife told me not to buy a non red white one! Just found an oil leak! I thought the strange handling was under-inflated tyres, then I found I was missing a swingarm bolt, but maybe it was just the oil p**sing onto the rear tyre! You got to love these bikes! _________________ Current Bikes: SB6 Crescent; SB6 (red and white); SB6 (Not red and white) |

Not your terminology OG, it's me not reading the post properly
At least you've got one bolt as a pattern. Shouldent be at all difficult for your local engineer to replicate. Hardest part would be the hexagonal recess for the allen key but you could have it with a hex head instead or many other designs.
Have you tried all the usual, European suppliers before you go to that much effort?

Find me some 34mm blind grommets EC
as for the allen bolt idea......it is a pretty complicated bolt but a m10 allen bolt and a machined washer might just do the trick
...depends what level bodge your willing to accept
Nice stainless m10 socket head bolt. Stainless machined washer to suit and probably a better solution than Bimota's
Now I've talked myself into that...how much are you willing to pay OG? _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)

stick a 38mm in it ... 34mm is 1 3/8 inch
but
http://www.motorcyclefasteners.co.uk/Motorcycle-Frame-Plugs.html these are rigid which isn't so great cos they stick out a little at the top where the frame changes shape
If there's a demand I can get some made up. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

Oily, if you don't mind making them, I don't mind paying for them.
PM or email me a price and I will get it sorted .

Should I buy the 35mm or the 38mm? Anything will be better than two holes in the frame?

The hole in the Mk 1 frame is 33mm so 38 seems a bit big to me _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)

If you can wait a couple of days, I'll knock a couple up
I'm thinking i can make the washer/spacer out of aluminium and it's going to be lighter than the original which would be great for my new project _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)
