    Love that 8th gen rear wheel. Too bad they cover most of it with that exhaust. Looking forward to the end result. Worth considering. White of course.

    thank you. need to order 2 more parts this week. I want a new axle nut and need a 2nd axle washer for under the nut. looks like I need to stack them to make sure I have enough threads to torque proper.

    its just like me though, was just going to do the wheel, now im getting a shock built by Jamie daughtry and powder coating the swing arm..
    just cant leave shit alone lol

    Awesome thread on vfrd. Thanks for the hard work 3dcycle. Its really appreciated. Its cool when you see new stuff being done, on a forum that is typically filled with ebay exhausts/charging problems/8 spoke rear wheels and snorkle/flapper/pair valve questions.

    Crazy, finally, a worthy soul came up to the plate with enough pesos to pull it off, in that I say, Way to Go! I looked into it and the $$$ made it like are you nutz.....it was only a matter of time before some one could justify the means, nice job. I kinda know what you have into it, ;) my hat is tipped to you.

    I work at Honda dealer and can by these parts for myself at cost, only way that it was possible.
    I am working on a deal though with my boss to offer a package price once it is confirmed fitment and I have all the parts needed.
    the parts that I have so far are the:
    wheel
    axle
    rotor
    lugnuts
    and rotor nuts and bolts.
    total cost to date for package for VFRD and VFR world members is in the range of $900 shipped to the lower 48.
    mrsp is just shy of $1200

    That's an awesome deal for people wanting to update their sixth gen and give it a more modern look and not have to buy a totally new bike.

    Awe... you sneaky little Ba#@! ok, that explains it, still a cool couple of pesos, and still a very cool set up. Once I found out the to do costs, I went looking for a totaled one, hahaha just for the rim and company, NOT! Don't forget a rear tire too ;)
