Rear axle slider fitment question

Will a set of Speedymoto rear axle sliders for a standard 1098 (not R or S) fit on other Duc single-sided swingarms?  I understand the hubs are bigger on the 1098/1198 than on the smaller-hub bikes, so the wheels won't swap, but I didn't know if that also ruled out the axle sliders.  Oddly I didn't get a very clear answer from Speedymoto, so I thought I'd see if anyone here knows. 

Thanks.  [thumbsup]

The ID of the 'large axle' is quite a bit bigger, so I'd say that's a hard no.

That's what I was thinking as well.  The word from Speedymoto wasn't that clear, not sure why.  Thanks!

IIRC, Speedymoto was absorbed by Motowheels a few years back.
So that may have effected the info you're getting.

About 2/3 of the way down this page:

Thanks, that helps.  I wasn't aware there was a difference between an early-production 2007 1098 and anything after that, in terms of swingarm ID/OD from one side to the next.  That shouldn't have filtered into what I was asking about with the Speedymoto folks, but maybe it did.  Anyway, all square now, thanks again.

From Motowheels website:

"Special Note! *Early 07'1098's have an axle that measures 42.7mm on both left and right sides. Later models 2007 1/2 and newer have a thicker left side axle with a 40mm ID and the right side is 42.7mm. If you have a 2007 please double check your left side axle before you order.* "

Big WTF on that, news to me.

Got a complete hub off of a '15 MTS12, axle's 43mm straight thru.
