Motorcycle Repair: Spokes, buchanan spokes, stainless spokes

Question
Hi Bill

Can spokes from a CA77 be used on a CA95?

Thanks

Answer
Maybe if you cut them down to the right length, but not recommended.

Dreams have wider rim widths and wider/larger hub dimensions. The spoke angles would be different and rims wouldn't be drilled correctly if you were trying to swap rims over, too.

Unfortunately, the Honda "Dream" rim/spoke kits sold on Ebay from Asian sellers are mostly either Benly rim/spoke setups or are just poorly made, as the spokes have to be bent to line up with the holes in the rims/hubs.

Get stainless spokes from Buchanan Spokes and be done with it.
