All I know is the 848 has the smaller axle, the 1098 has the larger one, 1098 works, 848 is much harder. The 848 (I think) is the smaller axle from the older 916/996 series, so may work with a triumph hub. I didn't choose 1098 from research, I just wanted 6 inches of forged alloy goodness and got lucky. And I have seen complete 1098 swingarm/hub/caliper/sprocket, for $300 aus. As in, everything except the wheel. Don't forget, the 1098S is forged, so even lighter what are the differences in the 5th/6th/8th gen swingarms? I've notice a few lightweight wheel discussions going on..

In my mind its not a lot of money - someone else did the measuring, thinking and cutting. keef has been doing a long term test. There's no way I could replicate it for $235AU, not even close

He makes them in a CNC, actually. I dropped off my 1098 wheel years ago because he had a spare 5th gen arm to see how to make it work. This was much cleaner than the carozzeria style adapter I thought he'd have to make. I reckon $235 is pretty cheap since he'd done all the measuring for you. all prices in AUS$.

Thank you! (I think so too!) :-)

Letting everyone know, Extreme Creations in Aus is selling a single nut conversion kit to work with 1098 components - spacer, shim and caliper bracket. I just ordered one so 7 kits remaining
