30Bones Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Found this mint and freshly coated wheel recently. Now to order a high mount delkevic to replace my low and get the front wheel coated to match. Now if I could just removed the passenger peg brackets it would clean it up even more.

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted November 27, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 27, 2016 That is nice. They're often not in that good of condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyon007 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Yeah that becomes the problem with white. I photoshopped my wheels grey and gold (red with gold is my favorite) but the white and red is so nice I just live with it. Every now and then I take the 30 minutes or so to really clean the rear wheel. I need to find a better way to clean the front one though....

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted November 27, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 27, 2016 Do you ride with a passenger? Is that why you can't remove the pegs? I have high mount Staintune and it uses the standard mount point. Simply commissioned SebSpeed to build me a hanger with the stock geometry. After that I cut the left side peg off the bracket to retain the helmet lock and seat latch. Also got a spare left side to use with my GIVI rack. Just a few extra minutes to swap out including the low mount to fit the rack. Only reason I have the grab handles on and no solo cowl is I was on a road trip to Seb's and was using a tail bag. Wanted to show off his work on the hanger, so no GIVI either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soupinmycoupe Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 So the 3rd Gen. 8 spoke is wider than the 4th and 5th Gen 5 spokes? They're completely bolt-on? Rare is heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer KevCarver Posted November 27, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 27, 2016 Wider than 4th Gen only. Same width as 5th and 6th Gens. Yes, complete bolt on with those. I believe there is some slight modification required to fit those wider wheels to the 4th Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted November 27, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 27, 2016 that is a Purdy bracket, when i start playing with my 3rd gen i want to do a high mount to show off the wheel ( or a left side exit) would like to clean it up like this.

30Bones Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 That's sexy Kev. Yeah there will never be a passenger on this bike nor will the GIVI racks and luggage ever go back on. It's ugly as sin and I have a victory for touring trips now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVFR Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Nice score, now why Honda quite adding it surprises me, but they must of felt something as the 8th gen is way cool. Just to bad it's 5 lug smh, Mine are white, but not just any white. LOL wouldn't matter what color though, I'm anal so they're cleaned after every outting or 300 miles or less.

Epyon007 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 After 300 miles? Damn I wish I had the accommodations for that. My drive way is degraded so much it mostly gravel so it turns into a swamp fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted December 26, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted December 26, 2016 Thanks man! It was wet that day, and that helped the look of it despite the lack of direct sunlight. It's got some light gold flake that pops pretty nice in the sun. Seb's got some pics floating around of Misty Copper that look pretty sweet as well. I think mine is Oil Rubbed Bronze, or some such... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer sfdownhill Posted December 26, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted December 26, 2016 That is truly a lovely bit of aluminum. There's just something graceful about the lines of an 8 spoke. By the way you've integrated it and will coat the front to match, the wheel seems to have found an excellent owner.

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted December 27, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted December 27, 2016 Good luck with that! They are getting as rare (read expensive) as the 8 spoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellindustries Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Man, i'd love to have white wheels, or similar. It'd just make me SO MAD to see them dirty. I guess i'll be sticking with gloss black (totally need a re-coat this coming year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
