Buchanan's appear to be the Tasters Choice.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

No idea.  Just going by Everett Powersports ebay: THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE NEW SET OF GENUINE HONDA REAR WHEEL SPOKES FOR THE CB750. THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC REPLACEMENT "DAIDO" SET, NOT POOR QUALITY REPLICAS. INCLUDES 40 SPOKES AND 40 NIPPLES.

THIS SET IS APPLICABLE TO THE STOCK SIZE 18" RIM WITH 40 HOLES.

OUR STOCK PHOTOS OF ACTUAL ITEMS SHOWN.

What did you end up going with? I'm looking to put my 16" conversion back to stock soon.
