Yes, your right of course, it looks crap and I couldn't possibly let you take the blame. I'll shoulder the negativity myself, especially as it looks even worse from the other side...........

wow!
I can just say that impressive amount and quality of work was invested to this bike.
would you post some pics and measurements of the spacers used on the front and rear wheels?
what are these Dymags originally made for? a 999 line Ducati?
respect for this build!

Welcome to the forum Gregorio..............
The dymags were originally fitted to a Triumph tiger and it would probably been an easier conversion if they had been fitted to a tiger Tank
Please don't attempt this conversion as it is a really awkward swap 
Can you post a picture of your bike please 
We like pictures of bikes |

still more than enough for me
I'm basically a Ducati fan but I have very strong addiction for Bimotas of early 90's |

Looks great. Thanks for the advice about the wheels. My Dymags came from an Aprilia, but I still haven't fitted them yet. I'm going to get to them sometime, but I've decided to warm-up the motor first!

Here we go.......
Trial fit of the rear wheel with it's new disc carrier
Fit's no problem, now to get the tyre fitted and balanced and that'll be another part of the jigsaw sorted
...A word of advice to all potential wheel swappers.....
Whilst this little exercise proves, you can make almost any wheels fit almost any bike (despite Dymag disagreeing) Triumph wheels are defiantly not the best bet for adjusting to Bimota fitment
Lot of blood, sweat and tears (and wonga) went into this conversion but I'm as pleased with the result as much as the purists will be horrified |

Should be a lot easier with Aprilia fitment wheels.at least they are a normal standard configuration and haven't got ABS, should only be a spacer making exercise. I would do the whole Dymag conversion thing again but NOT with Triumph fitment wheels
Wish I'd started with Aprillia wheels  |

Hi Gregorio and Welcome to the Forum, nice to have another twin cylinder fan around. My DB2 should be right up your street as it is 90's Bimota, a Dcuati engine and its painted in the Japanese Moto Corse scheme with a Corse titanium exhaust system
Nice finding of the links to the Corse site, that 1100 SB6 for sale is at a cool 20K GBP. And nice to read about the speed setting SB6 although having now seen the detail pictures I am a little dismayed as I thought the record they set was for a "production" bike, but evidently its far from production what with the flatside carbs, exhaust, etc etc, but still nice to see |

Amazing how many bolts and things there are on such a simple bike like the SB6..........
....These are just most of them, there are probably a few more that will need replacing with stainless or Ti
So far, they weigh in at 1.4Kg
New rear sprocket has just arrived from Talon as I hadn't realised that the almost new sprocket that came with the Dymag was the wrong pitch.....DOH! |

Amoungst that pile of bolts and screws, would you happen to have
the torque settings for the allen cap screws for the swing arm pivots

Sorry Marty...........
Bimota doesn't do torque settings for the SB6.
There are a few torque values in the SB6R manual but not the one you want.
I've always done that one up "tight" but not tight enough to strip anything.
If your worried about it coming undone, use thread lock on it |

New sprocket has arrived .................
.....Now fitted along with the chain.
...and on to the carbon hugger. Now, all the Bimota huggers I've had are all twisted out of the mold .........
...and won't sit square over the tyre.
My solution is simple and also has another benefit. It revolves around these little nylon washers........
....I use them to pack the hugger off the swing arm to level it up.....
it also stops water and salt getting trapped between the carbon and swing arm causing corrosion
With a few minuets and a few washers and some new stainless m4 button heads you can satisfy your OCD, get the hugger all straight and square and use washers which is good engineering practice
