number9 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 There's one on ebay now. Be sure to verify condition with any seller and consider return policies if the wheel arrives bent, rashed or there are condition issues not apparent in the listing. I was browsing ebay in May and looked through the sold listings - there were 7 that sold in April, one for just $80, and one with some rash for $599! Best of luck. Cheers I can't find one on eBay right now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I can't find one on eBay right now.. If the seller has a "Buy it now" price it may only be there a short time. It may take some diligence - they're highly sought after. Log in, then on your search click on "Sold Listings" and scroll back through them. IIRC 7 crossed ebay in April. Do your homework - a photo or 2 may not adequately document its condition.

RedRicer Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 what is this magnetic draw everyone has to the 8-spoke? i get a lot of comments on my stock 5-spoke. people think its off a duc. and i personally think the more minimalistic spoke pattern looks better. personal preference i know, but everyone seems to want to switch and I just dont get it. spend a fraction of the money powdercoating your 5-spoke and it will bring you just as much happiness.

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted July 29, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 29, 2015 That is one nice collection! The RWB's just beg for a white 8 spoke - just makes the whole package pop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer deltaboxii Posted July 29, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 29, 2015 Agreed! But the 5 spoke looks almost as good when you paint it white. That is one nice collection!

Member Contributer flexiflyer Posted July 29, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 29, 2015 I just nabbed one recently. A friend is restoring a fridge and the parts bike had a straight one. He traded me for repairing/taking the dents out/welding/making nice a ratty Two Bros lh exit pipe for his bike. We are both happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njride Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I bought a parts bike just to get one, its still sitting while I wait to wear out my rear tire. $300 for the whole bike, with a clean title and the rare 3rd gen centerstand plus the 8 spoke rear wheel, i couldnt resist. I dont know if id pay 300 for just the wheel, the 5 spoke doesn't look nearly that bad. With a good engine, the titled frame and the centerstand it should be easy to get my money back. Of course i got lucky checking craigslist at the right time, the deals are on there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tews19 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 This brings up a question i have since the center stand is mentioned in this thread. On my 5th gen mine seems to bounce a lot. I can here it hitting the lower part of the bike. Is there something i should be looking for to fix this?

WGREGT Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Check the tension on that centerstand spring. It's usually encased in a clear plastic tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing ting ting ting while riding irks me My 5th gen does this too... I even bought new springs and it still clunks on bumps, especially parking lot speed bumps... I love the 8 spoker and I also love some of the minimalist rims... my frankenbike will have 3 spokers when done... the 10 spoker 8th gen are sweet too!

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted July 31, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 31, 2015 I had no idea until I tore it down at the end of 2013, but my '99 actually has two springs holding the c-stand. There's a smaller diameter one inside the larger one. Looks OE, but no idea really. Or maybe it's my earplugs blocking out the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer V4Ever Posted July 31, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted July 31, 2015 Regarding the center stand springs, yes there are two springs on the 5th gen. Bought mine with no center stand. Found one on eBay for 30 bucks. Spent another 60 on the bolts/springs/misc hardware from bike bandit. They sent wrong bolts.

I'm thinking maybe it's gummed up around the pivots and it never seats fully retracted and it just takes a little jarring to get it to separate and slap back into place...
