The best I know of is Buchanan Spoke & Rim in California. www.Buchananspoke.com Kenny is very helpful and knowledgable on all rims and spokes. They can provide custom or stock spokes and rims and build wheels. Fitst class company. Erik K

Of course the front and rear take a different 18" rim and spoke set because of the half brake in front.

Ah, the original look...

That's the special look once you've redone your whole bike rather than leave it as it was...

Well I don't see any sets for 18" fronts. Vtwinmfg show some but doesn't designate front or rear. Just front and rear! So they may have the rears and for 64 and up fronts if they are the same set. I do Ks not Sportsters so no idea on that. Many people use the SS. It can be dulled down. You need front or rear? Patrick, it could be the look you want after building a motorcycle for years from scrap parts like many.

Jan's outfit may have them, Tom's did not here in US. If you want original look the drum should be black. I would go with SS if Cad not available. They look great and last!

Many swear by bead blasting the stainless spokes for a cad look.
