|
|
I have a DB5R with Ohlïns forks and Oz wheels, and I would like to install a set of front axle sliders on it. As all of the sellers list their products by Moto brand name, of course no one lists anything for a Bimota!
So I'm wondering if anyone has done this to a Bimota with the Ohlïns Road and Track forks. I assume that the wheel has less influence on this than the fork does. My axle has a hole through it the appears to be 14mm in diameter. _________________ Spike C.

Those look very nice! I bought ones that were for a Panigale and reshaped the ends that meet the ends of the axle, I ground them down until they fit. They aren't as stylish as the rakuten ones, but offer a bit more protection for the bottom of the fork legs. _________________ Spike C.

Sounds like neat solution... Sparkled curiosity would require some photo... _________________ Bimota DB7, Bimota DB5 Mille, Ducati 916, Ducati M900, Benelli Tornado Tre |

The only weirdness is that each side is different.....
