Gents, does anyone know which other models use the same front wheel as the 1992 907ie? I know the forks are different between the 1991 & 1992, the 91` runs the 300mm discs & the 92` runs the 320mm discs. No sure if this effects the wheels between the models. May be a 900ss or 851 or 888 would be compatable? I think mine has a very slight woof.............. |

All 907 wheels are the same, any 3 spoke ducati wheel with 17mm ID bearings will go straight in, this includes early SS and probably 851. If you change bearings you can use any wheel but the spacer between them might need changing as well. The later SS (MY92 onwards) had 20mm axle. |

every thing build between '88 and '92 with Marzocchi forks and 17" wheel in 3-spoke design is interchangable (750's?, 900ss, 851's) diam. of the brakediscs affects only the legs. types with Showa forks need at least a set of bearings. this is a easy job. later types wit Ø25 axels are difficult to use as the bearing are getting small and the allowed loads are dropping.

If you do the bearing change from 20mm ID to 17mm ID, you should/ may also do the spacer, as the the spacer needs to touch on inside race squarely. the spacer takes all the force of torquing the axle down. The white wheels, which I assume you want, came on the 907, a couple of years 851, and some of the later versions of the 900 SS (and some of the smaller versions sold in Japan and such). If you don't want the white wheels, then you have a choice of gold, silver, or black as stock colors. White wheels don't come up on e-bay that often, so you may want to consider that timing as you shop for a bit to find them. Brembo wheels in general are rather soft, which means they bend easily. This is good and bad. While easy to bend them in the first place, they don't crack, and they don't fail catastrophically. It also means that they are rather easy to straighten. A wheel straightening company will generally do it for about $125-175 each, (plus shipping) and can do without disrupting the paint. I have had two white wheels straightened, and they came back very straight, and the paint looked fine. I polished them up, and everything is good. Wheel straighteners do require that you remove the bearings before you send them, so figure in the cost of a new set of bearings when straightening (the old wheels will probably benefit from it anyway) Cheers, |

I know that the wheels can be finished differently at the speedo drive . I have a 20mm speedo drive off my 97 SS that will not fit the 17 " wheel that I have ( ducati , but I dont know which model its off ). The SS wheel had the speedo drive washer retained by a pressed steel cup where as the wheel that I have has the drive washer retained by a oil seal. The SS retaining cup will not fit in this wheel as it has been machined finished different. so there
