PM'ing you now.

Edit never mind you have your account set up to not receive PM's...

Paypal works best, wont have you pay till I have it done. Like I said in the top post, all are made to order, don't have any on hand, might be a week or two before I can make one. Ill let you know.

Try to fix your account so you can accept PMs.

I'm pretty sure I have my account set to receive PM's. That's works for me. I will PM you so you can reply with your PayPal address. What material are the spacers made out of? Just curious.

Edit: I did have my PM messed up, but I fixed it.

I am hoping for stainless.....

Me too, but I'm fine with aluminium, and if its mild steel I can coat it with something. One couldn't dream of titanium for this price. Any way I'm happy.

6061 aluminum.

Everything else is overkill.

Resistant to oxidation, lightweight, durable enough for a wheel spacer. What more can you ask for for $13.

DCMoney · December 30th, 2015, 12:09 PM

Will also notice less drag on the front wheel as well.

Triple R · December 31st, 2015, 09:55 PM

Love mine, the tire does have a lot LESS drag. If you haven't read my review on it, you can see it here:

Absolutely. No need for anything more than this. 6061 is very resilient and is used in the food industry for certain applications where weight/mass matters and stainless (304, 316L) isn't practical. Can be anodized....if doing that, ream the inside afterwards.

DCMoney · January 1st, 2016, 01:53 PM

I tech bikes for MCRA, saw a 250 come through with a stack of washers epoxied together for a front wheel spacer... What ever works.

csmith12 · January 1st, 2016, 04:07 PM

^^^ lol, I did that for my old dirt bike a few years ago.

Floki · January 19th, 2016, 05:17 PM

Any chance you can make me one of these?

No issues, you will have to cover the difference in shipping. Think it was $5-7 last time I sent something to Canada.

Will these spacers fit a newgen EX500 wheel also? I installed an EX500 (2009) front wheel on a pregen set of forks, but the spacer would be my choice instead of a slightly narrowed ex250 speedo drive lol...

Cant say 100%, just did a pregen 250 front spacer for a guy and it was different than the newgen.

If you send me dimensions I can make one though.

I measured 38mm in length, but I have a question - do you remove the speedometer drive coupler that is held in the wheel with the circlip, and then what is used to keep dust and dirt out of the bearing area? I know the other side has a seal, but this side uses the speedo drive as the seal... so, what did the fellow with the newgen pic in the review of your spacer use, as it looks like some kind of seal used there... Not sure how that would work.

Mine is just a little snug, and my spacer is 41.5mm. I did take the speedodrive coupler out, I didn't use a seal. If the bike drove in dirty conditions or for many miles I might worry about it, but with how much I drive the bike I feel fine just keeping the bearing clean, and replacing it when needed.

Edit: This is info for pregen spacers. Not newgen.

And, for clarity, my application is using a 2009 EX500 newgen wheel in an EX250 pregen fork. After centering the wheel up between the forks, I have 38mm for the spacer.

95PGTTech · February 24th, 2016, 03:32 PM

Just got mine on, buy with confidence guys

Fishbine · February 26th, 2016, 04:40 PM

Got mine too, thanks DC.

jc462 · July 3rd, 2016, 05:48 PM

This looks like a trick part - I am an old fat guy racing the 2fiddy.

I see this thread is a little old...I hope he will still make one of these.

I did send him a PM

Alex · July 3rd, 2016, 09:20 PM

I believe he is still making these; I thought there was a more recent thread about some being sent out.

DCMoney · July 4th, 2016, 06:34 AM

Sorry I was away all weekend racing.

Yep, I still make these and the captive spacers as the orders come in.

Responding to PM now.

95PGTTech · August 1st, 2016, 10:00 PM

Installed mine today, truly an easy direct bolt in part. Nothing aftermarket these days seems to be that way. Front axle torque is 65 ft-lbs for anyone else doing this swap. I am using my Garmin as the speedo, my bike has sprockets and the stock speedo was WAY off.

jc462 · August 4th, 2016, 06:36 PM

Great part , great fit, great service!!!

I'm gonna try out this weekend at a track day - should give me two or three seconds a lap

DC - I'm also interested in the captive spacers.

dustinang87 · March 25th, 2017, 09:31 AM

thread from the dead! are these still available??

Shiskibob · April 29th, 2017, 12:34 AM
