[Ducati] SuperSport Swingarms

[Dennis Jones]

Brad,
Thanks for the info.  One final question to clarify what you said below. 
Are you saying that an aluminum swingarm from, say, a 2000 900 Supersport 
would fit a 1996 900 Supersport?

there's 3 ss swingarms - steel for the 600, 750, cheaper 800 and 900 sport 
and cr versions, aluminium for the 900ss and sp versions and the rounded 
aluminium one that came out on '02 900ssie and stayed for the 1000.  did it 
come on the 800ss as well?  i don't recall.

theoretically all swingarms since '91 will swap.  they changed the aluminium 
one slightly around '95 or so, so the chain guard and hugger on the early 
ones won't fit the later ones, but as an assembly they swap.  i've heard the 
later ones are slightly different as to shock mount, but i'm not sure there. 
the '02 on round aluminium arm is lasted as a dp upgrade kit for all '91 on 
bikes.  the steel ones are narrower, as stated, and i believe you need a 
wide swingarm cush drive assembly to fit a narrow wheel into a wide arm. 
there's a few people on this list who have swapped 4.5 rims for 5.5 rims in 
900cr (we never got that model) who know more about that than me.

there was also the dp aluminium upgrade for the 600 and 750, which was the 
old style verlicchi crack special '88 750 sport type arm, with the big axle 
end plates.  not sure when that dropped from the listings.
