Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 9, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 9, 2015 hey I did the search but did not find anything, just wondering if anybody has tried to fit a 8 gen wheel to a 6 gen. I know it is a 5 lug and I would need to replace axle. has anybody tried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wonder if the rear wheel from the 1200 could be bolted to the 2014 800? I assume the 800 is 5.5" and the 1200 is 6" wide. Then one could run a 190 on a correct width rim. Not sure of the PCD is the same, or the wheel offsets are different due to shaft Vs chain.

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 9, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 9, 2015 any more good new? lol lucky for me I work at Honda dealer and can buy it at cost all that for $600 so first order of business is to get a axle and see if it fits the bearing carrier, to bad my bike is tucked away for winter, might be a month or so before I can do this... errr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 9, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 9, 2015 yea I can powder coat the front wheel in the perfect world I would swap front wheels too, but guess what it isn't perfect. that might be more than I want to bite off right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspanglish Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Would the Front wheel off the 8th gen be a straight swap Onto the 6th?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted January 10, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 10, 2015 Only if it's the same size. Measure the hub width and the disc offsets and compare. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted January 11, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 11, 2015 Only if it's the same size. Measure the hub width and the disc offsets and compare. Ciao, If it turns out the hubs are the same specs - the only difference being 5 lugs vs 4, the 10 spoke wheel swap will probably become fairly common.

Member Contributer zoomzoom Posted January 11, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 11, 2015 Interestingly enough, I was just looking up some parts for my 2000 VFR800Fi and I pulled up the parts list for the 2014 VFR800F at the same time. As one would expect the parts numbers are different for a lot of things on the rear wheel listing, BUT, the part number listed for the rear bearing holder (Part 42500-MBG-000) and the final driven flange (42605-MBG-000) is the same for both bikes. I know that there are a lot of other parts that need to match up and other offsets to deal with but if the bearing holder and final driven flange part numbers are the same, it certainly makes you wonder what else is the same, even if the part numbers are slightly different. I realize the similarity in part numbers doesn't indicate that a swap is certain or even possible but since the bearing holder part numbers are the same you would think that the dimensions on the axle shaft and other parts must be similar as well.

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 11, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 11, 2015 I do like the 8 spoker looks very nice. but in that instance I was talking about the clutch cover. nice but mine is just fine. I would not mind finding a 8 spoke wheel either. come to think of it my buddy has a white 8 spoke, on his 750 wonder if he would notice a black 5 spoke... hrmmmm maybe not until summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 11, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 11, 2015 I just looked up a bunch of parts as well, there are a lot of parts that match up, all the axle bearings are the same. the driven flange and dampners. the hub and carrier come up with different numbers. I found it to be kind of funny though, every time a part matched from 6 gen to 8 gen it also fit the cb1000r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
