Maybe. You need to measure length and the tapers on the end of the spindle. Buy a caliper and start measuring. My guess would be no as I think the crank taper would be wrong. Roger

Maybe #2. Yes, if the bottom bracket shells are the same width and have the same threading. Are you going to use the same crank on the Motobecane as on the Shogun?

the motobecane might be french thread if it was built before 1981 or so. If it is, then the Shogun BB will not fit.
