Rear Wheel Spokes Refurbishment Complete

Hi

I have come across 11 new rear wheel spokes in a spare parts box that came with the Harley-Davidson WL when I bought it.  These spokes were galvanised, but they were in a very good condition.  I just removed the galvanising and then painted the spokes matt black.  I have now managed to paint a total of 43 rear wheel spokes - this gives me an extra 3 spokes for in case a spoke or two snaps when the wheel is assembled

This coming weekend I want to focus on painting the rear wheel rim.  I can then send the rear hub, the set of spokes and the painted rim for re-assembly and truing.  This is not something that I want to attempt on my own.
