36 spock rim
« on: March 03, 2010, 07:01:31 AM »
I have a 16x3 36 spoke rim. The guy that I got it of said it is for a CB750. I checked my CB750's and they have 40 spokes. Can someone tell me what this is for? Thanks.

Fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected. In this case, I should think "interesting" would suffice.

ITs probably not "for" anything specific. Its to be used as a custom piece on whatever it will fit. I think the 500/550 clan had 36 spocks. They are a formidable group.

Of course you'd have to find spocks for it, and one of the landing party always dies.

I only clicked to see if anyone made a joke, and I found that only one reply didn't, I love this place.
