Hi Robert,

I noticed the very same distance spacer on the CMS website yesterday when I was looking for bearing carrier seals and it confused me too. It must of been a late mod Honda did at the end of the 2nd gen production run or something. I have NOS axles for my 83 & 84r's and they do not allow for the addition of this spacer ( the thread for the lock nuts would be closer to the wheel).

Does your bike still have the date of manufacture sticker on the frame?

Cheers,
Nick.

[robert leon]

Alright so I'm not the only one. Do u know why the put it on there and left a big gap? Just wondering

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

[beets442]

Mine didn't have that. I had an early model(low #'s)

[robert leon]

Yeah I got the higher #. a question to u guys I looking for some good reasonable priced rear bearing. Any good suggestions?

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

my best advice to you is get oem bearings they last the longest in my experience

my best guess would be to keep the chain off the locking nuts if the chain pops so they don't get messed up. only a guess though
