Default Twinworksfactory.com?

Have they gone out of business? I'm trying to find captive wheel spacers for my CBR600 wheels and remembered seeing some on their site. Just when I need them I can't access their website.

Excellent, thanks.

I was trying their old address and it wasn't redirecting.

Oh well, looks like I was wrong, they just do captive spacers for an F3 wheel to fit an SV, not to fit an F3.

I'll machine my own then.

Really? I may well do that to see if they can give me a price on the ones I require. Mind you, their other prices seem a bit too high for something I could easily make myself in an hour.. I do know someone who can let me loose with a some alloy and a lathe, so I'll call her this weekend.

If you can do it yourself go for it, it is not that hard.
I am sure they did not find lathe and material on street and they have to charge for work.

Oh I accept that, but I just think $100 for one set of captive spacers is too much for me to pay. I have 4 wheels to fit them to, it gets a bit too expensive to pay someone else to do the work at that price when I can do it myself if I can find the time.

$100 includes all spacers, outside and inside wheel and bearings that go with it.

You shouldn't need new bearings and inner spacer if there's no wheel conversion to do. These are CBR wheels that are going into a CBR, not an SV.

Maybe they'll be cheaper if that's the case. I'll be fitting new bearings anyway, because I'm taking the old ones out when the wheels go to be powder coated and replacing with new for my own peace of mind.
