Hi. I just joined up. I have been riding for 50 years and have picked up the F3 as a retirement project. I have been trying to source spoked wheels for this bike with little success. Anyone have suggestions. Thanks

Pretty sure nobody makes spoked wheels for our bikes.  what I've seen people do though, is swap the front end with a GL1000 front end so that they can keep the dual disc brakes up front but, have the spoked wheels.  Don't really know about the rear end, I think they just use a cb750f1 rear hub.  Sucks...  I don't really care for the comstar wheels but that'll have to do for now till I can afford a front end swap  :-\

+1.  That is the easiest way to go about it.  You can make anything work with the right machining, and money, but the GL front end and 75/76 cb750f rear hub is what i did to get "the look".  The rear hub is the harder find, so if you find one pick it up.
