    I'm in need of some dimensions and hope someone can help.

    The 955 used an eccentric hub that was 105mm in diameter and 70mm wide. Can anyone confirm if the later 1050s' hubs are the same size and if not when it changed and to what?

    Are the bearings the same in all hubs?

    Could a later axle (with 5 drive pins) be used in an earlier hub (that originally had a 4 drive pin axle)?

    What is the width of the front of the later Swing-Arm (that had 5 pin axle), at the spindle? IOW, what is the size of the gap in the frame required for the S/A to fit? Doesn't have to be too precise, a tape measure would suffice to measure it.

    Hope someone can help.

    Well I posted in the Speed Triple forum so I thought that defined what I was asking about. If not, well, my question refers to the Speed Triple :) or at least Triumphs with the Single Sided Swing-Arm.

    As for the years, well I have dimensions for the '00 955, after that I'm a bit vague on years, but specifically within the last few years they introduced the 5->10 Y spoke wheels that have 5 drive pins in the wheel mount flange compared to 4 for the earlier models and I'm specifically after dimensions for those late 5 pin type axles/hubs and S/As.

    The motorcyclespecs website is devoid of any technical data like this, hence I have to ask here as I'd like to not waste money on something I then find won't fit where I want it to.

    I've found some information elsewhere that confirms the 4 pin and 5 pin axles are interchangeable, which means the eccentric hubs are almost certainly the same size. But I still have no width data for the front of the S/A, i.e. along the pivot. From pictures it looks like the latest S/As are actually narrower than the earlier ones.

    So still after that width data. Can anyone help with this?
