Where can i find spacers for these for my '05? Or what can i use as a spacer.

Also curious if powder coating them will cause and kind of mechancial problems being baked in the oven?

I used honda factory parts, and had to grind a shoulder off. Powdercoating probably shouldn't hurt anything, but it depends on the metal (I would guess - I'm no rocket doctor). However, this has all pretty much been covered in the Ervins thread.

My spacers were honda part number 51497-MEL-D20. I beleive the desired dimensions are in the Ervins thread, but I want to say they are 5mm thick, and I can't recall the interior/exterior measurements.

Coating wont cause them any problems when done correctly :thumbsup: thers nothing inside that will be effected by the cure temps..

I just picked up some washers from home depot (zinc plated so they won't rust), figured out how many I needed to make the pads clear, and spray bombed them black. no one knows the difference, cost about 3$ total

here is another question, will the caliper bolts from an 05 1000rr fit directly onto the 05 10R? Reason being is that i stripped out the crappy allen head bolts on my bike.

I've been told they do, but I used my factory ones. :dontknow:

Is that with the 5mm spacers?

Can you better explain the grinding needed to be done to these spacers?? Is it the backside of the spacer or the lip on the bottom of them?

I used the stock bolts with the 5mm spacers modified as shown. Part number 16. Grind off the shoulder pointed to by the red arrow - the part that comes in contact with the forks. The other side fits into the spacers.

I just held the spacer with a pair of vice grips and used a table grinder - marred up the sides that I grabbed, but I don't care.
