These New in Bag Nichols Manufacturing rear axle nuts are CNC machined from 7075-T6 Aluminum and Hard Anodized. They are structurally superior to the stock nuts at less than half the weight (and even 37% lighter than titanium nuts).
These axle nuts were donated by the good folks at Nichols Manufacturing to La Ducati Day 2005 as an auction item, and was not bid on at the event. All money raised by this auction will go directly to the La Honda Volunteer Fire Brigade. For more information on La Ducati Day 2005, please browse to:

Both nuts have more thread length than stock, aluminum, or titanium replacement parts. The wheel side nut replaces three pieces with one.
They are easy to install because both nuts use stock retaining clips and do not require drilling or safety wire.
