Looks beautiful

A mater of individual tastes I guess.
Maybe it's because my two recent classic CBs both had mags, I like the mags better than spokes.
And my BMW R1200C had chromed wheels and spokes and the chrome job on most of those 1200Cs was poorly done, and the chrome peeled off.

Looks great! I'm just glad it's you that has to clean them

My last set of spokes I used foaming bathroom chrome cleaner to clean them

I love my my mags, but the spokes look nice too!

Oh crap, looks like I need to find $2,400 ASAP!

The bike looks awesome

Those look awesome!!! They just make the bike to me. Being 18's does make cleaning a bit easier.
I wish BMW used those spoke weights.
Great Work

i will post more pictures today with DLX exhaust installed. i may need help from someone with a DLX. need a pic of the center stand return spring upper attachment point. 2013 has it on the left but new exhaust interferes, so new stand is designed with a mid span spring but my frame lacks any obvious place for the spring plate to attach. Also, 2013 std frame lacks a mid span mount point for the left side exhaust header. seems to be fine without it, just supported by exhaust port studs and rear hanger but may have to have a bracket fabricated and welded to frame to make it correct.

Top attachment point is a wire hook welded horizontally, the vertical piece lloks like a C with a hole in top which goes over hook and a hole in bottom which holds ends of 2 springs.
