    Spokes?

    I'm in the rebuild stages on my 77 gs550. I took apart the wheels to clean and powdercoat the rims. Unfortunately the spokes are in pretty bad shape. I'm not sure any amount of cleaning and woking on 'em will save them. Any ideas where to get fairly affordable spoke sets? Front 19 x 3.25 Rear 18 x 3.75
    I even called around to some salvage yards and no avail!
    thanks

    oem spokes are about 72 bucks for the rear wheel at alpha sports
    about 73 for the front.

        Jim does relacing all the time on an bunch of old stuff and new as well. He has alot of different stuff in stock and can order what you need if he doesn't. His work is very well done and I've seen some pretty cool wheels come out of his shop.

        He can be crotchety at times, explain your situation and he'll help.

          I remember the Yamaha 650 used the same spokes and some XS guy carried the spokes at a reasonable price
