Quick answer...

I have a set of rims/spokes on my CB750K4 and they look amazing! Pricey but worth it.

This place sells both SS rims and spokes and it's right in your backyard, so to speak.
I got my alloy rims from them, no one in the US had a 1.60x18.  Buchanan referred
me to them and they treated me right.

Thank you
Have sub to Cassic Bike.
Hagon seem to be informative and their prices are reasonable. @ £164 per wheel. or £129 in bits.

They look like stainless, but best to check??
Rims are 34 pounds each and spokes are 16 pounds a set.

Nope.....Chrome steel.
For that price I don't think DS would get out of bed.

Sorry, they look stainless in the pics!  :-\ They look nice, but I assume they would go off fairly quickly??

Just a "heads-up" here.......  I bought a set of stainless spokes from Central Wheel in UK. It wasn't the best transaction since they (get this) "....never made spokes for a Honda 750 before".  They didn't get it right the first two times, and charged me (again) for the remake of the wrong set.  They still didn't get it right, and I had to shorten them, and have them roll threaded again.  What you absolutely NEEEEED to do, if you decide to deal with them, is send them samples of what you need made.  Or better yet, if you can, ship them the hub and tell them to lace up the new wheel to it.  Since I live in the "States", that wasn't an option, and it was a real pain in the arse with the phone calls and faxes etc.  I'm positive that others have had less stressful experiences when dealing with them, and I have to say that they were very nice and courtious about everything.

Paul,
I was talking to a guy who had a set of rims and stainless spokes(can't remember details) that he wants to sell. PM me with the details and I will see if I can get his phone number for you.
