    Just looked up the part numbers and they are different, but i don't know how though. I personally wouldn't have thought there would be much to gain from doing it. You would probably be better off changing for some Braking discs Braking Motorcycle Wave Discs or similar. I could be wrong and they may well transform things! Keep us posted.

    But the spacers from Mr Honda are stupid price!!............get someone to make some if you decide to upgrade to bigger discs or if your down sizing then save the spacers for someone else.

    are you running on track much? if so then it maybe something to think about,after fresh fluid,upgraded m/c,braided lines,better pads.

    if not,spend your money on something more beneficial
