    Guys I've just taken the front wheel off the bike and on putting it back on it noticed both spacers are the same. I thought this was odd so I checked lings and the right one is defo different. Yet on my bike both are exactly the same.

    Any ideas folks? Should I order some new spacers??

    I guess no one has had their front wheel off then lol

    I phoned the local dealer anyways and ordered up a RHS spacer for the front. Ordered some dust seals and SKF bearings as the front wheel felt a bit notchy when I was spinning it.

    On my 2009 blade, the spacers are different. It shows them in the full manual.

    Yeah I thought it was weird when I had the wheel off, that both spacers where identical. I checked Honda of Bournemouth and have since ordered up the required parts to change the front wheel bearings.

    Not too bad £21.04 for 2 dust seals, and the RHS spacer. I bought 2 SKF 6005 bearings from simplybearings.com as they are cheaper than the dealer prices :)
