Jon, McTool - unfortunately it was leaking air so my roadside repair attempts were doomed  I did stare at it a long time with a rock in hand, but some friends stopped me applying the rock + force randomly to bike parts!
Yamanima - sorry, my French language skills are not good, but from the link in Gerhards reply I think understand and can answer a bit more...
Note I used the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) 17mm 906 Paso front axle and the 17mm OEM 600SS rear axle.
Also I used a 40T rear sprocket (to fit 600SS cush drive), a longer 520 pitch chain (2x extra links I think?), and had to offset the 15T front sprocket ~1mm to get the chain and wheel alignment both straight at the same time.
Rear Brake Caliper Adaptor
Note this adpator is used with a stepped spacer to sleeve it to 17mm and set the distance from the swingarm (see below, "Item 10"). The alignment of the brake caliper to the disc requires some shims or washer to get to perfect. Also, the drawing is a bit wrong as I had to make more space around the brake caliper bolt holes to fit these spacers/washers properly.
2x Replacement Swingarm Excenters / Chain Adjustors / Rear Axle Holders
Front Brake Caliper Adaptor
Speedo Drive Plate adaptor and Wheel Bearing cover
All this work was done before I went away on holiday to Spain. It made finding a spare wheel after this accident much simpler (All I needed was a OEM Ducati 17in wheel, which many shops have, not a 16inch one which many shops do not have).
I have not created all these designs myself. I have used or modified designs posted by others on this forum, so the credit belong to them
I have now done 5000kms riding since these modifications, including motorways, daily commuting and winding mountain passes. I'm not 100% happy with the handling (maybe I will change to a 120/70 front tyre and fit a digital speedometer, experiment with fork height), but overall so far it is good. Braking is much better
Cheers,
Mick
