When I rebuilt my wheels, I tried xr 250-400 spokes and they did,nt fit. I got a sample of a CRM front and rear spoke from leisuretrail and got them made in S/Steel

They are about £2 odd straight from Honda, might be able to get them cheaper now you have the sizes

Yes, Leisuretrail do sell spokes,and they will sell single spokes, I think they cost about £3.00 each + postage. Thats what I did, and then I, or at least the lad who looks after my bikes got them made in S/Steel by The Central Wheel Co, I think that,s their name. They cost about £90.00 for both sets, it,s so nice to just give the spokes a rub and they sparkle like new. I also had my rims and hubs powdercoated in a lovely shade of red. Hi Mike, how are you mate, I have,nt been on for awhile, Iv,e bought another bike, so I,m spending quite a bit of time on the other site run by admin. The CRM is still running great, I had,nt started it since the first week in Dec, got her out of the shed on Monday, she started second kick. Awesome bike, I,m so glad I did,nt get any of the other marks, AR,s ROCK. We,ve got to have another ride-out when the spring comes, best day,s riding I had last year. Cheers Kevin.

yes

If anyone knows of a cheap source of alloy rims, can they post up please.

Hi I don`t surpose you have an invoice or order form with the details of the spokes you got made? I rang central Wheels and they say they do not have the info to make them? don`t people keep records of previous sales!!! seems unlikley!!!

Thanks
Jack

I have built a wheel with these spokes, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Motorcycle-Spoke- ... 3a5681cf52
It was to a new rim, (I think from a WR) but they should fit. The only issue you might get is the nipples are slightly thinker than standard honda ones so you may have to open the holes on the rim with a drill slighhtly.
