Not 100% sure if you guys are talking about chromed one piece rims or different spoked rims, but I'm going to jump in anyways (you might give me a stink about it).
But I really like the looks of the classic spokes once they are all polished and shined up, and I've seen "Kits" and exchanges for a wider rear rim, but I really don't like the cost of those services. I was talking to a local bike shop who specializes in customs (mosty HD of coarse but would love to work on a Triumph again) and he said he could re-string the rear wheel for about $250 + Parts providing it is a "normal" spoke pattern. Which leads me to my question cause I really couldn't say for sure, but are our spokes standard or are they goofey (the more intricate the longer it will take the guy and the more pricey it will get)?
