Spokes are not "hard" to clean, it just takes a little more time. The finished product is so worth the effort to me though. A great set of spoked wheels shimmering in the sunlight just sets a bike off.

I agree. There's something about the look of spokes in the sunlight that's "just right."

Tires are Michelins,100-90-19 front and 150-70-17 on the rear. The front fender barely clears the tire.

Remember that a tire "grows " when it gets warm/hot.
Years ago I worn a groove in a front fender from a slightly too big tire on a CBX.
That front fender was a plastic one.

The spokes look great!

Looking at those pictures, I’d be a bit concerned of that clearance on the front wheel. Maybe you could find/fabricate a larger fender? The wheels look absolutely stunning on the bike otherwise.

AU3O2, if you’re thanking me for posting pictures, you’re welcome. That’s all I did.
The wheels and the hardtail are FLYTM’s work.

Thanks to all for the kind words and thanks again George for help on the pictures. The front fender is close at the front edge but at the back,bottom edge the clearance isn’t an issue. Once again the blue jobber bolted to the bike is a guage I made to determine how short I want the new shocks,the right side has nothing bolted to it. If my brake light modification works out I plan on using a front fender from a CB1100 F.
