austinaw91 11 Report post Posted August 23 I finally found a straight 8 spoke 3rd gen rear rim on eBay. Price was $260 shipped. Will need to be powdercoated to match front (thinking black unless I do both). I felt the price was pretty fair considering what they go for nowadays and that they are increasingly hard to find. Will be installing on my 5th gen with new rear tire this winter. More pics to come! Happy motoring! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also is it 5 direct swap?Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy 2704 Report post Posted August 24 An 8 spoker is lighter than a 4th gen OEM. Not by much but I lost the images on them on the scales. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I weighed my 8 spoke and it's about 1/2 pound lighter than 5th and 6th 5 spoke. Also lighter than the 1st Gen CB1000R, IIRC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marvelicious 109 Report post Posted August 25 Good on you! I occasionally check ebay... it seems like there are a handful of sellers charging frankly offensive prices for these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
