I didn't see those coming, Colin! Very nice Are they a direct swap from Marchesini or are they from another Ducati (I know the Hypermotard S had forged Marchesinis).

Blimey! They are light.

Go for Gold Colin.. Go for Gold..

The guy I bought them off was going to put them on his 848 evo, but sold the bike by the time they came back from the powder coaters.

He gave me some measurements so I hope they fit!!

Front brake offsets may need adjusting.

No idea what that is, or how to adjust it.
Just put the discs on and the front wheel in and it all seems to line up OK. Spin the wheel and the pads are right on the discs?. Not sure how freely it span before?

Looks like your fine then. You have to learn about things are not always plug and play on different bikes or models. Especially important things like brakes. Even car wheels dont fit certain models because of disc size offset and size of calipers.
Hope you dont have to do a thing that way others can also benefit.

Yea, and it also demonstrates how far Ducati have diluted the 'Monster' naked SBK philosphy brand over the years. I mean I can put the wheels or discs from my SBK on the Monster or vice versa no problems. Ohlins might be more work but the the aftermarket triples I have on the Monster mean I can fit Ohlins forks should I wish to or be able to afford/justify them.
