Yep four split 2 and 2 is far better symmetry than 1 on each side.

Yup - the 2 latest additions to Samurider are less than $5000. DLX owners, what are you waiting for?

Lovely looking bike. But mate, that tyre looks as though it needs a bit of work. Ship it to me and I'll run it around the Putty loop a couple of times .

Cheers

Hey, there you go! All Honda has to do is put 4/4 pipes on the 2015's and theyll have a crowd down at the dealers trading their '14's in! Maybe they could even add a fuel petcock and a few other nostalgic items to sweeten the deal.

These spoke wheels are really a nice addition aesthetically. Has anyone looked at whether the Ducati Sport Classic spoked wheels could be adapted?

one note on the OEM spoked wheels, as i have already done them, is that the swap also requires changing out the rear brake caliper and hose. Spoked rear wheel is wider flange to flange, narrower rear caliper required to compensate.

They look nice, but spoked wheels are a PITA to keep clean. I like the wheels on my DLX. If I did upgrade wheels, it would be for some mags.

Those 4-4s however...niiice.

I'm so glad you said that instead of me. I have spokes on my Bonneville and truer words were never spoken!

I certainly drool over the looks of the wires, but have mags on both my Bonneville and my CB.

As some of you know I love the spoked wheels!
Seriously, I would sell my soul (might have already done it) for my CB to have silver paint, spoked wheels, my Nojima AND a set of aluminum Ohlins. I feel confident I could go to my grave knowing I once owned the prettiest and sexiest motorcycle ever made.
Yea, those spokes just scream retro.
Funny thing is, I have a spare 2013 fuel tank that I plan to get painted to match the side covers, but mercy, the cost of spoked wheels is way out of my budget right now..

I am going to walk away from the computer and go have a good cry.
