Hard Anodized Wheel Spacers
Hard Anodized Wheel Spacers
So I had a little time over the long weekend to make some progress on the 97
Replaced the rear wheel bearings and seals. Nothing special about that except I did not want to replace the wheel spacers with OEM since they are pretty much junk. So I searched around and found some on Ebay by a company called MaSheen. Nice hard anodized (I think they call it ROK Coat or something) units.

I ordered some for myself.... $10!
This things are N*I*C*E*!
I contacted the company, here is his response...
"Hey Bob,
Sorry you couldn't get in touch with us. The toll free number rings at both of our shops but sometimes it is hard to hear with machinery running and our office mgr. is only in the office part time. Our website is under construction along with ad copy for the bike magazines. It has been a long, ongoing project to try to design, run and inventory a comprehensive line of spacers for the top four bike brands.
We have many rear spacers available that we have not yet even advertised on e-bay. We are currently running a line of Kawasaki rears and then to "fronts" for everything we make "rears" for. MaSheen is my company so if you contact one you got the other.
A complete, comprehensive line of "better than O.E.M." wheel spacers was our first goal when we founded MaSheen. We don't want to copy anybody - we want our stuff to be better than everybody. Our next product is truly the "million dollar idea". I couldn't possibly think of a guy that rides who wouldn't buy at least one. We are developing the part with a process known as "stereo lith" which is a machine that converts a 3D CAD drawing model and through laser beams and magic resin produces an actual plastic model that you can touch and feel to aid in development of the final metal product. I can't say what the part is yet. We want the website and ad copy in place before we introduce this product.
I too am the proud owner of one of them viscous beasts known as a CR500. It's not the bike I ride the most but it's definitely the one I ride when I want a rush!
Later,
Lloyd"
We shall see whats Lloyd's Million Dollar product is.
UPDATE: I pulled the rear wheel off after a few hours on it.... spacers looke untouched.. I cant imagine they will look different after 100 more. This "RokCoat" is good stuff!
Maybe we can get this company to CNC our A/F Hardware Kit that's coming out...
OPPS! Did I just say that out loud?

I bought a pair of those for my cousins bike when I was building it, I will get him to pull the rear wheel and have a look. He rides every weekend and lives on land where he can ride, so I'm sure a number of hours have already worked on them.

Danny, DO IT!! I am not sold "yet" till I see how the seals last. Hard anodizing is not new but everything I owned that was hard coated had a pretty rough texture. I think DLC would be the "million dollar idea"...OOOPS, there goes my monay!!

I didn't think about the seal, I will have him pull the rear wheel and look at both the seals and spacers. They were really smooth to the touch when I got them though.
