k8 with the 17- inch rear rim options?goldwing rims?
« on: January 18, 2008, 09:23:58 AM »
anyone put rims from a 78 goldwing on a 750k8,if they come from a shaft driven goldwing can they be converted to chain(aluminum rims),I can't find new 17 inch spokes for the rear wheel on the k8,only 18 inch spoke sets,would prefer chrome wheels should i look for 18 inch chrome rear rim? i was thinking abou the GW rims because my buddy is giving them free to me,thanks

buchannon.com is supposed to have spokes. I am not sure I spelled it right though. Everyone says they make good stuff but a set is like $100 or so I think.

I'm not 100% sure what you're going for.  Mind clarifying?

Edit:  I'm looking for a rear Goldwing wheel if you decide to get rid of them.

I think the 750 Hondamatics ran a 17" rear rim if I recall.

 The 17" 750A is the same wheel as the GW wheel. Dannie

thanks guys,i looked up buchanan,they only have the 18 inch spokes listed,will try calling them, bottom line is my spokes are in good shape but f-ing rusty,maybe sanding them or try the electrosis method,then painting them silver metallic would work out,going to get the  rear rim rechromed,they might even chrome the spokes hmm,,,,,,,Dustyc, i'll keep youi in mind about the gw rear wheel,havn't seen them yet
