At present I have 90/90 18 fitted to the front and 100/90 18 at the back but there seems to be a lot more options on 110/90 18 rears and I wondered if anyone had fitted them please?

Re: Left over item!

I can't say I recognise the spacer and like Steve said it doesn't look particularly like a factory part. It may be something cobbled up by a previous owner but I've no idea what for.

Left over item!

Having been fiddling around with the back end of my 500 Strada for some time everything's back together but this spacer/tube is left on my workbench.
