Mods remove if you want, its not me selling stuff, I just think these are a cracking idea

I had problems changing my wheels on my bike, a job that I have to do on a regular basis whilst racing. Main problem is the spacers falling out as Im about to put a wheel in place. So I had a look on ebay and found these

These captive spacers are easy to install with no modifications to your wheel bearings seals etc.







Material used information

6082/ 6082T Aluminum

Grade 6082 is commonly known as a structural alloy and provides the highest strength of all the alloys in the 6000 series. This increase in strength is due the addition of a large quantity of manganese that controls the grain structure and creates a stronger alloy.

Tempering

6083 alloy can be solution heat treated and artificially ages to create 6083T6.

Grade 6082 alloy provide increase strength and hardness over 6082 and can endure higher levels of stress. The alloy machines well and can produce tight coils of swarf if you use chip breakers.

Dont get me wrong im not on commission or anything, and Ive already bought my 2 set, I just think there a cracking idea, just wish I thought of them

I heard about these on another site, they seem a good idea...

I know they are a good idea because the V4 has a slight lip on theirs which keeps them in place

there was a guy at brands trackday last month that makes n sells them,wonder if its the same chap

Would be very useful if you're changing your wheels constantly. Kellys ZX6R is the worst bike I've experienced for this, it's almost impossible to do it by yourself because its such a tight fit, thankfully the R1 is much easier as the spacers sit more flush plus it has plastic dust covers which help keep them in place.

Whipped up some myself last month.

Replace the speedo drive on the track bike and used the dust seal as a retainer.
