Re: OMG rear wheel spokes help!!!

Its not the spokes so much as the angle of the holes in the rim.The Honda Rear is a large diam hub whereas Harley is small.That means the spoke angles in the rim is different.You need a 16" rim 40 hole from a bike with the same diam hub as your Honda I am unsure of any.What u could do is get a blank rim either steel or alloy and drill to suit.then u would need a set of spokes to suit.The Honda is a x2 pattern.Try CWC in the UK ( birmingham) for a blank steel rim dimpled but NOT drilled.Or better still get them to drill one for u.Tell them its to suit a drum brake Norton Commando as they are about the same diam and are also 40 Hole.Get them to drill holes to suit a .300" nippleThen its just a matter of getting a wheelbuilder(such as myself )to make up a set of 8Gauge spokes & nipples  www.wheelandspoke.co.nz
