U R right, thanks for bringing it up leepy:

 

[FLYTYM_imp]

Got the wheel on the bike and it looks amazing. Not sure how the picture will come out.

 

[Cormanus]

They look like this ...

 

[Desert viper_imp]

Those look great!

 

[peterbaron]

Great look

 

[Bheezy27403_imp]

Wow, beautiful. I'm a sucker for spokes.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Excellent job Cormanus. Going hardtail?

So am I,or I should say was kinda. The first time I cleaned them up after getting the tires mounted I started having horrible flashbacks about cleaning a spoked wheel. Wouldn’t have it any other way. The blue bracket in place of the shock is a height gage to determine the height of the new shocks.

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.

Looks perfect ! What kind of tires , Dunlop ?

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.

 

[Houtman_imp]

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.

I like the "hardtail" look but, am confident that I would not like the ride!

The spokes look great!

 

[dbarkdoll_imp]

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.
