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.

Oddjob:
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.
