    Spoke wheel pics

    Hi all, hoping anyone with a spoked wheel gs could post it here. Specifically looking for any 83 1100 E's or ES's, but any and all spokes are welcome!

      nice, with the saltymonk mod, hows about a shot of the whole bike?

      Also, anybody have an idea of the weight difference of spokes vs. mags?

        Here are my spoked wheels. I love spoked wheels on a classic motorcycle. They are lighter than the cast Suzuki wheels. The spokes are a little harder to clean. But when the sun hits them just right they sparkle.🌞
        My Motorcycles:
        22 Kawasaki Z900 RS (Candy Tone Blue)
        22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
        82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
        81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
        79 1000e (all original)
        82 850g (all original)
        80 KZ 650F (needs restored)
