I have a 2015 DS. I'm considering replacing the swingarm with the 2017+ one (extended swingarm). The part numbers for the axle adjuster blocks are different than the ones I already have. I'm wondering if I can get away with using the ones I have or if I have to buy the 2017+ ones.

Could someone with a 2017+ S/DS gen2 measure their rear axle adjuster blocks?

Parts 13 and 16 in the diagram.

I conveniently had mine close by in storage (2019 DS) and they're 29.5mm top to bottom, about 11.5mm thick, and the OAL is about 52.9mm. The side without the nut (left I think) has a cut out for the end of the axle to sit in and that section is 6mm thick and the cut out is 27mm top to bottom. The distance from the front of the block where the adjustment screw contacts to the hole the axle slides through is 18.5mm. If you need any other measurements or want me to draw up a diagram because my description is rubbish just let me know. If you do end up having to buy new ones I recommend getting the R&G ones that come with cotton reels for a paddock stand. That's why I don't have these stock ones on my bike.

Your description was perfect, thanks! And I didn't know about the R&G ones. I might consider those.
