The 500 in the second link looks tidy.

As no one got the answer. What's going on with the front axle?

Blimey another Hawkeye like Ken only spotted it in the second photo after you made me look.

I hadnt noticed either, looks like its hollow so must be home made and it it is hollow i wouldnt trust it

I've got it in my head that a hollow length of metal can be stronger than a solid one for bend resistance?
Any metallurgists here?

[Bryanj]

Ted i think that calculation is if they are the same weight

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Could the front axle be for some sort of Dolly or Padock type stand as the rear exhaust stops the usual fitting?

[magpie114]

Its not dissimilar to the front axle on my VFR400. On mine the bore diameter isn't constant along its length.

Possibly off a later 550 Bryan.

To me it looks like he's fitted a 500 spindle BUT he's fitted the large nut back to front, if you look at the 3rd pic and blow it up, you can just make out the thread of the spindle is barely engaged with the nut. This is because the spindle is supposed to fit with the nut part inwards not outwards, so to get it to fit he was forced to leave the excess spindle hanging out of the O/S fork slider.

Check the pic Ash has posted, that's the correct way for the spindle to fit inside the nut.

Not a good idea.
