Ducati Eccentric Hub on a 93 Swinger?

So I plan on mounting a Duc wheel to my 93 VFR swinger for a swap onto my 00 SV650. Ive been told I need a Triumph eccentric hub to mount the Duc 3 spoke but that requires a machined sleeve of some sort to be made. Will a duc hub mount to the VFR SSSA?

Send me your VFR's spindle and I will have it modified for the Duc wheel same as I did for Jonas (Swiffer) in Sweden and Doug (DouglastheCook) in Germany.

Pics in my gallery and theirs.

Or just follow MrMatt's writeup on the Triumph eccentric and spindle swap that SA1713 and myself started experimenting with.

Save your self a whole headache and money and send the spindle!! Then you can move on, get the swing arm attached and lined up.

The whole lot i guess will be heaver than a standard SV rear end anyway, resulting in less performance not more?
Those 650 cheater tanks are running in the 400 series of races over here???..... no wonder they are getting winning results...
Have you not tried squeezing a 650 engine into a VFR 400 ?? Now that would incur a lot of interest over here on the isle of man!

Last one I had done for DouglasTheCook they charged $299.25 ~ pic of invoice in my gallery. I would have to check if they could still do it for the same price; they wanted more than $299.25 but the first one I had done they charged less than $299.25 so that price was 'negotiated'.

The shop is on the opposite side of the city from where I live in an area I don't normally work in ~ it's about 60 miles round-trip. The shop normally makes driveline components for the oilfield industry but the owner is an Italian guy named Tony (really) that likes motorcycles who does the work in-between higher priority jobs. Both Jonas and Doug were very patient with me as it took about 6-7 weeks to turn the piece around from the time they sent it to me until they had it back in their hands.

You still need to buy your own RC45 drive pins and a two-piece Ducati wheel nut. I originally used a one-piece billet wheel nut but was not happy with it as it could not be torqued down properly. OK for racing where you take the wheel off every 200 miles or less to change the tire anyway, but not so good when you are on a trip.

Rear caliper needs to be machined down to clear the rear wheel, but Swiffer and DouglasTheCook just did theirs themselves once they fitted the wheel on the spindle/swingarm.

Okay, looks like Im going with a VFR rim.

Thanks again Safe-T!!! I really love the axle, and have been mulling the possibility of sending another one your way come spring. I really like the new selection of tires that are available because of the wider rear rim, and haven't noticed any issues as far as handling goes, and have run het all the way to the edge of the rear tire, so thanks for enabling me to go faster!!!!!
