Where to get new spokes for 17" rear?
« on: June 16, 2014, 10:00:29 PM »
I have a 77 cb750. That year happens to have a 17" rear wheel as opposed to 18" on earlier models. I'm having a hard time finding new spokes for it. Any suggestions?

buchanans are great quality and they have all bikes on file.

i got my spokes via them when went from a 23" rim on a xl250s to a 19" with stock hub.

I know, it's outlandish, but I buy my Honda parts at the Honda dealership. I just bought the spokes in question at $ 2.09 a piece. Not so difficult either.

$2/ is essentially the same price as Buchanans, and those are SS if you care.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
