OEM spokes
« on: April 23, 2015, 07:46:20 AM »
Anyone buy and use the OEM spokes?  (I have a cb500k0)  I can get them at dealer cost (Not sure of the exact price as of yet) and was wondering if I should even bother or are there other lower cost options that have a good track record?

Cheers,

James

I've used Honda spokes and they are well made. I've bought SS spokes from Buchanan's and they were good too, but if you want OEM type plated spokes the Honda ones are nice. I have never used the Thai/Chinese Ebay ones but have some worries about the plating, poor plating leads to rusty spokes in a hurry.
