Title: It's a wheel mystery!
Post by: Gilby104 on August 12, 2013, 10:32:58 AM

A friend of mine is a bike part dealer and he has stumbled across these wheels that he just can't figure out whet they go on! He assumed that they're single sided so likely Ducati but they don't fit any Ducati models.

You're a clever lot.... what do you reckon they're from?

Ahh there has been confusion.... it's NOT a single swing arm wheel - I've misread the email. That't the reason it's not a Ducati!

Was going to say a Monster 696 wheel hasn't got a single sided swing arm but it isn't as that bike has a 3 spoke wheel I believe

Is it possibly a front wheel...tried to catch the tyre size but it's not clear.

two updates from my mate, we've already had much confusion over the swing arm business. Turns out I didn't misread the email, he just wrote the wrong thing. In his defense he is pretty ill at the moment.

Update 1 - "Sorry yes its a front wheel also. But the rear isn't a single sider. I think I might have autism"

Update 2 - "Its a fancyish make, but one that does do OEM stuff, will check that and tyre size".

it's not a ducati and it's not a single swing arm.... and it doesn't look very much like a Multistrada wheel..... other than that I feel like we're getting closer :moto:
