Spoke Size for Borrani 18" WM3 Rim?
« on: June 09, 2010, 08:36:55 PM »
I've got a Borrani 18" WM3 rim that I want to lace onto the rear hub of my '78 cb750 K8.  Anyone out there ever been through this?  When I purchase the spokes should I just get OEM spokes for that year and model, or is there some other variations that I need to consider?

 If you have a drop center rim, the Honda 17 inch stock spokes may fit..

The bike in my avatar is a 1956 Schwinn DX.  Good eye  ;D  I bought it at a garage sale for $25, cleaned it up, Reupholstered the seat pan, and turned it around for $175.  Pretty good investment I'd say.  I love pretty much everything old.....Cars, Motorcycles, and bikes are no exception  ;D
