kz900 front spokes was created by GregZ
I've searched the world over looking for kz900 front spoke set. Only option is buchannon SS at $100
or a Thailand set at $75 with $40 shipping.
Anyplace in the usa sell a repo set? reasonable priced ??

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationA SS spoke set typically runs $89-100. You can find zinc plated spokes cheaper.

I don't believe the ad. I'm pretty sure a Z1 spoke will not fit a kz hub. Z1 hub bigger than kz. OEM part numbers are different as well.

Depends on which spokes and which year/model. What year/model bike is the front wheel from that you're trying to relace? Ed

Nothing even comes close to the quality of Buchanan's spokes!!! Spend the extra bucks and just buy the best. 75 bucks for some cheap garbage from Thailand. And if you have a problem, what are you going to do, call them??? Buchanan's are MADE IN THE U.S.A. and they speak English when you call them!!!

Don't know what they get for lace and true anymore. I would spend four or five hours getting a rim within .025ths. Get it back from Buchanan's and its got .004ths runout. I used to box up my rim and hub and sent it to them. Couldn't see wasting five hours of my time on a rim.

Hey gregz, Does he realize what he has up there?? Remember A&B Cycle by the police station?? Uncle Jack had another goldmine in the back and basement!!! I found a old 125cc Benly Honda buried in the backroom!! It was complete!!! Early H1's, '72 H2's, and '69 CB750's just piled on top on each other. Heard they used a Payloader to scoop them all up when the city torn the building down. Uncle Jack is suppose to get out of jail in 2020 I heard!!

Glad Foster is still going strong. Dr. Gamma
