Talking about the wheel spacers? You'll find them cheap used on Ebay.
If you want aftermarket, you won't find any lighter than stock. If you want new OEM, you probably can order from Partzilla or someone but it might take a few weeks to come in. OEM parts seem to be starting to get a little scarce.

Oh, like they are permanently on the wheel. Never saw that before. Maybe if you have aftermarket wheels but not OEM. My Carrazzeria rear wheels have their own spacers but they will come out if you pull on them. You can get Carrazzeria front spacers that will fit Carrazzeria wheels but they wouldn't work for OEM wheels. If you have OEM wheels, grease the rubber lip of the bearing race and the spacer should stay stuck in there. That procedure was recommended for the Gen1. I think it helps keep water out.

Man, I've been looking for those too. I mean, on my friends Ninja 250 the captive spacers just have a lip on the inside OD. You just slip that lip under the dust seal and the spacer stays put. Super easy. I don't know why they don't market ones for our bikes. Maybe some from a ZX10 R would work....
