Finally found an 8 spoke

Found this mint and freshly coated wheel recently. Now to order a high mount delkevic to replace my low and get the front wheel coated to match. Now if I could just removed the passenger peg brackets it would clean it up even more.

Mmmm Perdy.  Mine is white, it looks good in on red, but SUCKS to keep clean.

All true! Fortunately for my 09, it's black and hides the brake dust much better!

That is nice.  They're often not in that good of condition.

Yeah that becomes the problem with white.  I photoshopped my wheels grey and gold (red with gold is my favorite) but the white and red is so nice I just live with it.  Every now and then I take the 30 minutes or so to really clean the rear wheel.  I need to find a better way to clean the front one though....

Do you ride with a passenger? Is that why you can't remove the pegs?

I have high mount Staintune and it uses the standard mount point. Simply commissioned SebSpeed to build me a hanger with the stock geometry. After that I cut the left side peg off the bracket to retain the helmet lock and seat latch. Also got a spare left side to use with my GIVI rack. Just a few extra minutes to swap out including the low mount to fit the rack.

Only reason I have the grab handles on and no solo cowl is I was on a road trip to Seb's and was using a tail bag. Wanted to show off his work on the hanger, so no GIVI either.

That's sexy moto-porn right there!!

So the 3rd Gen. 8 spoke is wider than the 4th and 5th Gen 5 spokes? They're completely bolt-on? Rare is heard.

Wider than 4th Gen only. Same width as 5th and 6th Gens. Yes, complete bolt on with those. I believe there is some slight modification required to fit those wider wheels to the 4th Gen.

Man, I need one of those hangers.

that is a Purdy bracket, when i start playing with my 3rd gen i want to do a high mount to show off the wheel ( or a left side exit) would like to clean it up like this.

That's sexy Kev. Yeah there will never be a passenger on this bike nor will the GIVI racks and luggage ever go back on. It's ugly as sin and I have a victory for touring trips now.

Nice score, now why Honda quite adding it surprises me,  but they must of felt something as the 8th gen is way cool. Just to bad it's 5 lug smh,    Mine are white,  but not just any white. LOL wouldn't matter what color though,  I'm anal so they're cleaned after every outting or 300 miles or less.

After 300 miles?  Damn I wish I had the accommodations for that.  My drive way is degraded so much it mostly gravel so it turns into a swamp fast.

Damn I need an 8 spoke.

Looking good OP

KevCarver--- absolutely love that color [image: emoji1303.png]

Thanks man! It was wet that day, and that helped the look of it despite the lack of direct sunlight. It's got some light gold flake that pops pretty nice in the sun.

Seb's got some pics floating around of Misty Copper that look pretty sweet as well. I think mine is Oil Rubbed Bronze, or some such...

That is truly a lovely bit of aluminum. There's just something graceful about the lines of an 8 spoke. By the way you've integrated it and will coat the front to match, the wheel seems to have found an excellent owner.

So is the Staintune all one piece?  That up pipe doesn't come off does it? 

Yep, Staintune is all one piece. 

Hmmm I'm gunna have to sell my D&D and get a high Staintune.  I'll use my stock pipe for touring I guess.

Good luck with that! They are getting as rare (read expensive) as the 8 spoke!

Hmmm well then a custom mid pipe may be in order...

Man, i'd love to have white wheels, or similar. It'd just make me SO MAD to see them dirty. I guess i'll be sticking with gloss black (totally need a re-coat this coming year).

Beat me to it Kev,   yep one piece,  they are still here and there,  but they are taking more effort to find.  one of the reasons I grabbed this 5th gen when i did.
