    Not having much luck looking for these and OEM are $43 each. Does anyone know of any aftermarket ones available.

    Only reason I have an issue is I replaced the front sprocket with a 14 tooth item before last ride which was great but when taking bike off the trailer I noticed the bike was hard to push as the rear wheel was very hard to turn. Pulled wheel off (had to replace tyre anyway) and something has gone very wrong as one of the bearing seals is badly worn and both wheel spacers are marked. One worse than the other and one in an uneven offset manner. Always torque axle to spec. Only thing I can think of is that the Wild Turkey got to me and I somehow stuffed the rear wheel alignment but sprocket wear looks sweet after the 110km ride with the 14t front sprocket. All hastily pulled apart before checking unfortunately..

    Thanks Caiman. You're right EE do have them. As per usual nobody has them in stock and Sutto's is the only distributor over here. Might used the hammered ones for now and make an order for them. Did you get the full kit with bearings, seals and spacers or just the spacers on their own?

    Don't remind me of the weak AUD! I've just dropped a bomb on parts for my forks from Euro suppliers, would've been nicer to do it when it was $1.05 not $0.88.

    What part of Sydney you in? I might be able to be persuaded to part with a set of spacers (I have a spare set).

    Kills you doesn't it!

    Live all the way out in Hawkesbury area and work in Rydalmere. You're a gentleman for the offer but don't want to be putting anyone out! How about yourself?

    Glad you guys got that sorted. We were supposed to have them made, but have other irons in the fire.

    Haha. I might have to make some Aussie versions in the shop. Those new fuel caps are more important!

    Resurrecting this thread. Does anyone know of any suppliers of wheel spacers, i wouldn't mind replacing both front and rear sets as both have groves worn in. Can't seem to find any that are available for a reasonable price in the uk.

    I'm half tempted to find a local machine shop to knock some up for me, maybe out of stainless.
