Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted May 7, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hey all, I bought a 1988/89 VFR750F rear wheel, but it was assembled after getting painted at some point in it's life missing the inner rear wheel bearing spacer, the one that is inside the wheel. 1986 or 1987 VFR700/750 or 1984 VF1000F. Anybody got a junk wheel to source the spacer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otmaximus Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I couldn’t pinpoint the part you were looking for on servicehonda.com. When it comes to anything bearing/spacer, I find the folks at allballsracing.com extremely helpful. Good luck paul in socal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a VF1000F wheel apart soon to do bearings, so I'll measure the spacer if my search turns out to be fruitless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyr62 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The right aluminium alloy would be, almost certainly. Even a piece of 6XXX-T5 series stock round bar will probably be OK. Keep an eye on it to see if it deforms when everything is tight.. However if the rear wheel departs at speed, I accept no liability 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the big manufacturers seem to think so too. 2-3mm wall is normal, depends on what the ID of the wheel hub is. Most have tabs cast in which help to maintain the tube's concentricity.

Member Contributer JZH Posted June 16, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not a good part to find missing! Mainly because it's unavailable from Honda and any you do find will be inside wheels... But CMS has one. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
