Bought from eBay long enough ago that there is no longer any trace. Obviously a DV8-a-like but any - and I mean **any** - further information would be gratefully received. D-size bearing.

Ricerocket was an old modder that took a buzzon menehune that he chopped the rims on and custom fit some weight rings to it. He made a pretty large run of these probably 10years ago.

I applaud your historical knowledge. Looking over various wiki pictures it looks like quite a lot of work went into it. The total absence of Buzz-On’s SPR threw me off the scent for the origin.

Buzzon released the menehune with and without the spr kit as well.

@Ricerocket shows up here every now and then, he even had a few on the BST a few years ago.

That looks really clean. Nice old mod. Too bad modern yos don’t need modding :joy:

I can only imagine that this plays like a rock with borderline pulse vibe, but still looks like fun. I feel like I missed out on a lot on this era of yoyo.
