austinaw91 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is it 5 direct swap?Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 24, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 24, 2019 An 8 spoker is lighter than a 4th gen OEM. Not by much but I lost the images on them on the scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by much but I lost the images on them on the scales. 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.

Member Contributer Marvelicious Posted August 25, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted August 25, 2019 Good on you! I occasionally check ebay... it seems like there are a handful of sellers charging frankly offensive prices for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer jdmtrinidad Posted October 4, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted October 4, 2019 Found a seller on ebay from OK. $236 shipped. Will powdercoat along with front after cooling, brake system rebuild, headers, and slip on install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
