Will this fit a 907? Size of wheel is correct 5.5"x17" but not sure of axle size. Anyone know? The swingarm looks similar.

I already have a 907 swingarm for my 750 conversion to 17" wheels but need to find some wheels.

Thanks!

I think, its just same, as Ducati have used sooo long time in many modells,like Monsters, SS, 851/888, etc.... I havent measured axles, but i am quite sure of it.... Btw, older 750 SS had 4,5" in rear, like maybe smaler Monsters also....

I have also hole 907IE swingarm with ALL stuff waiting that 17" conversion, but i pray, that no need to make that conversion. My 17" rear wheel is from 851 and front 17" is from 750 SS. :thumbup:

Btw, harder to find good front wheel, cause near all crashed bikes dont have anymore front wheel.... :sad:

Annti,

Thanks for the reply. Still looking for a front wheel. Think I may have found a rear wheel. I also have the 4.5"x17" wheel already. Just collecting parts at the moment.

Thanks again! :thumbup:

I think, that 4,5" is better to 750 Paso, than 5,5"(what i also have) :evil: Anyway, keep me updated, when You start to make modification... I think, just that 907IE swing is best way to make conversion to 750 Paso... :evil:

Antti,

not talking about handling, a 160/60 on a 4,5" looks really poor on a Paso. Although 5,5" with 180/55 is possible in the original P750 swingarm I`d personally consider 5,5" with 170/60.
My dealer and I had tried this longer time ago as I planned the conversion and it seemd the best compromise in feasibility and looks.

I was talking ONLY about handling, sorry, that i didnt mention it... :ugh: If thinking about "look of Paso", then have to stay 16" wheels as long, as possible !!!!! AND in LOW PROFILE Michelins surely... :laugh: .. and 907 looks "enough good" with 17" wheels, cause it have longer swingarm, than 750 and 906... :thumbup: ...and surely i see better opinion to use 907 swing to conversion, than keep normal 750 swingarm! :evil:
