Hi all,

Really quick question. I am based in the uk and am recently in the process of completely refurbing both front and rear wheels on my 1976 cb500t.
I would really like to replace my spokes with stainless but I am struggling to find anywhere that’s has them. Or at least anywhere that looks legit.
If anyone has had any experience of this before I would greatly appreciate the input.
Thanks
 
There used to be several places doing them but I'm almost sure most have retired and closed down.
I always used a place in Cardiff but they shut up shop for general public and only supplied to 'trade' with minimum monthly orders (Richards Brothers)
There should still be a couple of places but they mainly do cars or Vintage Triumph/Norton/BSA/Vincent
I'll send my brother a message and see if he knows anywhere as he's into everything.
I didn't even know BSA were back in business until I saw picture of his new one on Facebook
They won't be cheap though, around £2.50 ~ £3.00 a spoke so £120 a wheel
It may even be worth getting a price from USA as that will probably be around $110 a wheel but shipping is expensive.
Could try eBay from Indonesia, several people have had good results even if spokes need re-polishing before use.

Thank you! Anything thing you can think of would be a massive help. I just can’t seem to find anywhere that does the equivalent but stainless
