Those are goign to look sweet...was the hub nutched for dual disks stock?

Have you laced wheel before? Is it as difficult and time consuming as I have bee led to believe?

What bike are those going on?

and...sadly the real calendar girl image is not loading...

Rim is DID gold anodized from Buchanans 2.15 x 18,finish is VHT black case oxide #sp903,hub is stock,probably going on Drew 2009s bike,1974 CB750K Honda,spokes are Buchanans H/D Stainless Steel,8 gauge w/H/D nipples,rim is off CB500/590 Yoshi kitted bike,went to larger in rear and 18 inch up front.Lacing has to be learned,but not too hard,most Hondas cross 2 pattern,truing more the skill part of it.Can be FRUSTRATING @ times but not too bad,both take time and experience.Thanks for the comments,sorry she was there yesterday!Bill
Buchanans no longer selling DID rims,but have Sun rims available anodizing extra.
