Any reason why a Futura swingarm wouldn't fit on a Tuono?
The frames look very similar - actually, the same...

There are some photos on this site of a Mille and I believe a Falco that have done that mod. Not sure why other than cosmetics.
Some guys near here did it. I'll shoot some picture if you need.

The bling factor is there if that's what you're looking for.

L-F, show us some pics of your area m8 !!!!!!!!!!
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Do you think it will be that bad?
Obviously it'll be a little heavier - but you can't deny that a single swinger looks pretty good on the Duck monster...
Can anyone out there confirm a swing arm axle to to wheel axle measurement for the Fut'? Is it that much longer?
MikeE
Between the wheel and swingarm it will be a bunch heavier. I would venture to guess at least double what the stock setup weighs.
I have to be straight up here. The single sided swing arm on the Monster looks like a an apprentice plumbing job. In fact, I persoanlly found it to be so unsightly that I went to Aprilia.
It has got to be the crudest fabrication I have ever seen and Ducati should be ashamed to produce such crap. Then again they drove me to the Tuono R.

That's just pornographic. Does it handle like a burger?

this is really a nice forum! where freedom and respect are the main rules
Now I have to thanks god (if exist) that I can ride on different roads than yours.
You never tried it, you don't know the purpose of it, so are you talking because someone give you two mouth and no brain?
If I tell you the pilot was 2 secs faster on the same track means something for you?

Liquid Fly. I think you misunderstand Clivoris. Calling it pornography is a compliment - it looks very sexy. Handles like a burgerthis is really a nice forum! where freedom and respect are the main rules

I am not sure about this.
Single siders are heavier because they need to be stronger - and that does increase unsprung weight. On the flip side though they do flex more when leaned over - which gives better handling than a really stiff set-up. With Forks if you have to stiff a tube cornering suffers. When Ducati were competing the 996 in WSB they homologated a true swing arm, and it handled worse.
The stock swing arm on a mille or Tuono will, I think, handle better, but I am not sure that the Futura single sider will make it really bad. It will need someone who knows his shit to set it up though.
