PirateRiderBen Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I saw a Crossrunner at a Honda dealer the other week. Same wheels? (Did the USA get the Crossrunner?) Ciao, Nope, but the 1200X CrossTourer is supposedly on it's way here for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted March 30, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 30, 2016 Ah. The Crossrunner is essentially a VFR800F. It was introduced (as the RC60) in 2011, but it was substantially revised in 2015 as the RC80, which means it was developed just after the 8th gen. No surprise, then, that the later version shares the same wheels. (But which "gen" are they, one wonders... ) Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted June 13, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 13, 2016 figured I would update this real quick, I have just over 2000 miles on bike with this wheel, no issues. well that's not true, every one I see that rides and some that don't feel the need to talk about my bike when I stop. besides that its all good, you can all start ordering your set up now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 That depends, are the fourth gen hubs the same size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted August 6, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 6, 2016 The 5th-gen axle is about 5mm longer than the 3rd-4th. It otherwise fits into the earlier bearing carrier, but there'd be a gap that would make the sprocket carrier 5mm to far outboard. Of course, anything is possible if you've got the skills and machinery--or the money. Might be easier to remove the four studs and replace them with five (can't remember if they have the same PCD).  Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer deltaboxii Posted August 6, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 6, 2016 There is an 8th gen rear wheel on flea bay right now for $369 and free shipping. Tempting, but I really don't feel the need to put it on any of my VFRs (my '01 and '00 have 3rd gen 8 spokers), or my Hawk (5-6th gen 5 spoke). Could be a really good deal for someone though, but you would still need to get the hub and all of the other parts that 3d did to get it to fit. Just a public service announcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably lighter, though! I've got all three wheels and weighed them at my local post office on the same scale. Haha, I posted that on CB1KR forum. I'm sure I shared it here too, but it's hard to search this forum for some reason. Â 3dcycle, With your experience putting the 8th Gen parts on a 6G, would it be pretty simple to swap the opposite way? 5/6 Gen complete hub and wheel on 8th Gen swing arm?

They're both 5 bolt.... I wonder if the PCD is the same? You could probably run a 190/55-17 on the correct sized rim. Â I've been wondering this as well. For instance; if one had a ToroCharger 6th Gen and wanted more rubber on the ground with a 190 rear... Surely there are a couple guys that live close enough to swap out wheels for a look?

Gotta be real careful, some 190s rub on the swing arm just forward of the wheel, that is to say the centre band of the Tyre, not the sides. This happened to me on a 6th gen.... and if you're running -1 teeth on the front sprocket, in order to get proper tension on the shorter chain, the eccentric will surely be wound up bringing the rear hub forward so much the tyre surely rubs.But one can only try and take measurements.

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted December 3, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2016 not willing to buy a wheel to try, if some one local to me wants to stop in once I get my bike back together again I can surely do a test fit for the group. Â or if the members of VFRD want you can get a fund raiser going and donate the $$ and I will buy one from ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I did not have to shim anything. everything lines right up. the biggest concern I would have is the amount of thread left on the axle sticking out of the left side of hub, I think the 8 gen is a little thicker than the 6 gen but I pretty sure there would still be enough to secure nut with.

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted December 3, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2016 Is there a difference in brake rotor diameter, or was that a discussion on the front end? (I may have been skimming at some point...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted December 3, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2016 nope rear rotors are the same diameter, just a different bolt pattern. fronts are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
