Caliper bolt spacing

Ageispolis · #1 (**permalink**) 04-09-2006, 10:51 AM

I have the 2001 Sport and wanted to add a disc and caliper on the other side of the front. I dont have my bike on me right now so I cant measure it. Ive heard 40 and ive heard 42. Does any know?

Not sure what year they changed over but I'm thinking if your bike is a 2001 you should have 65mm caliper bolt spacing.... the early 90's bikes had 40mm but I've been known to be wrong a few times in my life.........

Yes 65mm!

any Ducati caliper from 98 and up should do the trick. (they are all the same 65mm Brmbo gold line unit. Apart from the 4 pad per caliper Jobbies)

Thanks guys. 65mm? For the 2001 Supersport? Also, say the fit is right, I'm assuming getting a pair of the 4padders wouldn't be a bad idea huh?

I would like to measure them myself. Does anybody know the right way to do this?

Take a pair of calipers and measure center to center of the holes. All there is to it. I just measured mine, on a 2000 900SS, and they were 65mm.

There is a member who is ordering 4 pad brembos with pads for $320 shipped to your door. I'll give you his email if you want it.

Im assuming these are new. It's a little more than I can spend. Thanks anyway.

Which reminds me. Are most Ducati Superbike calipers/discs interchangable with the supersports? Im looking on ebay, I see all kinds of superbike setups but nothing exactly for the supersport.

Yeah those are new, and cheaper than you can get them most anywhere. If you have 65mm spacing you can use the calipers off of 748, 996, 998 that have the same spacing. 4 pads will work. Narrow band such as 748r and 996r won't.

Monster calipers from 2002-2005 will work. Don't know about the 2006 black or is it silver calipers?

The spacing is all you need to worry about - as long as you stay away from narrow band rotors.

Oh and I think the 749/999 calipers have a different offset, but that could be incorrect.

Awesome. Thanks. I appreciate it. Ill try and stay away from the narrow band rotors. What measurment are the rotors on the supersport? Are they 4.0mm?

And on another note, I saw these on my search on ebay.

They're the 40mm, so they'd be good for the older supersports I guess, for anyone reading this who is looking for such.
