Index Screw SL / R

Gecko · Jan 25, 2015

Hi guys

I hate the 2 indexing screws of the rear swingarm pivot of my SL, ugly as hell!
I'm pretty sure they are the same on all Panigales with the adjustable single side swingarm.

Anyway, since I couldn't find any manufacturer, I'm going to make them in Titanium for myself. If anybody else is interested, please let me know before I order the raw material. Price will be about 5.- USD per piece, of course as usual it's a non-profit mini-project.

I'm surprised McMaster Carr of Fastenal doesn't have a better looking part.

Doesnt matter. I'll wait a week, then I'll order the material. Since costs of the screws is less than the shipment cost, I think I'll going to make a cheap package deal: index screws plus all small black handlebar screws (the small ones holding together the switch components). But I didn't make a plan yet.

It's just fun for me to provide you with silly little parts "improving" your bikes.
If you just want those 2 screws, you've to pay 10 bucks, easy as that.

ready to deal

Just inform when plan will be ready.

BTw, if I can suggest, please also make following bolts (see attached pics). I have a plan to replace it.

AntiHero
brutALEx
EnigmaRR (3/2/2015)

I am going to order the material today from Germany.

@bearacer: Do you want the other bolts you pointed OEM, INOX or Ti?
@b9009b: I don't know whether the 1299S has the index screws. Maybe somebody out here knows? Horn screw and front indicator brackets are ready.

bjorgens · Feb 1, 2015

No index screws for the 1299S. I saw it yesterday... Fixed swingarm pivot as with the 1199 base/ S

And thanks Gecko! Look forward to receiving mine!

You Sir are the greatest! Thank you very much.

Gecko · Feb 2, 2015

I just got p***ed from the company I wanted to buy the raw material

I expanded my search.. but it takes time.

There are two alternatives I checked:
A) Making the screws from INOX, would be same price, but not that cool.

B) Since 20 screws are ordered by you gents, I also checked for a high-end ultra-bling option. The lot is big enough to let them CNC made. It would be race grade with holes for safety wires Ti Gr 5, 2/3 hollowed. They would cost 15 USD per piece.

Let me know what you think...

Anyway I'm on it and keep you posted.

leftcoast32 · Feb 2, 2015

That would be great either way it works out. Would you be able to make the pinch bolt to match the index screw? Thanks for all your creative artwork!

bjorgens · Feb 2, 2015

I'm good either way as well... Thanks!

BRV1347 · Feb 3, 2015

Hey Gecko. If you can make the screw out of ti I'm still in. If it's made out of INOX I'm out. Thanks again and please keep us posted.

I am in either way.... BUT, I really want ti. Once again, I appreciate all the time and effort you have put into this.

Very appreciated.... Very appreciated.
