My 01 ate its own gearbox last December, and has been parked ever since. I finally pulled my finger, and the engine out, and I plan to get her going by this December. I've also modified the living shit out of my 06 over the years, and I have a large pile of low km leftovers gathering dust....
So I pulled the motor, and while I contemplated the complicated job of rebuilding the gearbox, I decided to distract myself by trying a few exchanges...
If you're interested, here's what I've discovered so far:
The steering stems on the 01 and 06 are the same. This means the bearings and races are the same, so the 06 triple clamps go onto the 01.
The ignition barrel mount ponts are the same, so the 01 ignition barrel goes into the 06 top clamp. Although there is about an 8mm space between the barrel and the ring around it, the steering lock still works. Asthetics will come later.
Obviously, the 06 forks, wheel, axle, calipers, braided lines, master cylinder, resevoir & clutch perch, go into the 06 triples. As will the leftover Graves clipons, Braking wave disks, CRG levers and brembo clear resevoir hose, I've got kicking around!
They still mate up to the 01 switchgear, but I'll need an 06 resevoir mount and mudguard (I have a spare thanks to a disk lock incident). The 06 forks are 25mm shorter than the 01 forks, and they also have at least 20mm less offset. So the front end will be considerably more loaded than before. WOOHOO!
Lucky the unknown aftermarket damper from the 01, will fit to the leftover Graves clamp from the 06 then.
In the middle... the 01 and 06 footpeg hanger mounts are the same. As are the footpeg positions, and the shift link pivot point, relative to the lever pivot point. This means my spare Graves rearsets will bolt straight on. Whether the brake resevoir and shift likage fit, is another matter.
I'm not sure of the difference between the shift shaft positions, on the engines yet, so I'll let you know, when I try.
At the rear...
The 06 shock absorber is the same length, and the mounts the same width, as the 01. I haven't tried yet, but it should bolt straight in.
The 06 rear axel is the same diameter as the 01, but 15mm shorter. So the 06 rear wheel will fit in, but will need spacing out to fill the wider spaced 01 swingarm. My leftover Braking wave rear disk will come in handy here too!
The 06 rear caliper and mount fit in, but do not lock to the swingarm, and would need a block welded on, to do so. The 06 caliper mounts to the hanger differently than the 01 caliper, so they're not interchangeable. This would leave me with gold spot front calipers, and blue spot rears, which is obviously unacceptable!
Also the 06 mirrors and indicators look like they'll fit but, unfortunately, the slightly crap carbon 06 tail I have leftover, won't fit on the 01. So I wont be building an 01 replica of my 06....Oh well!
Anyway, it's midnight here, and I want to grab a small amount of winter sunshine, to thrash the 06 tomorrow, so I'll let you know as I find out more....
