I'm not sure how cold it gets there but my 2005 had survived 2 Canadian winters with no damage to the spoked wheels during storage. (no heat in my garage and the bike up on a jack) I've switched to speedy wheels just for the look but I've never heard of anyone else up here having problems with spokes, HD's or otherwise.

Heck I've even rode a honda dirtbike in the middle of winter without any spoke issues.

(Gimmie a break...it gets boring up here in the winter...)

No idea for a solution other than getting speedy wheels or tracking down a complete spoked wheel from another member and trying it out?
