Sprout has already ask for identification.  Here is the thread he posted the pic in.  Looks like a early 350t or 450t to me.

How are you sure this is a Honda wheel? Honda didn't use 40 spoke rims as far as I can recall until the CB750, and it had a disc from day 01. There are a bunch of later bikes with 40 of course, but through the 60s I can only think of 36es.
Most likely I'm delirious though and somebody will list a dozen or so old 40 spoke Hondas.

Lol well the brake shoe has Hm on it. And the guy at the Honda dealer said it was Honda. But that's all I got to go by.
