Wheels

So my spokes are a bit crappy. Tried cleaning them up with de greaser, alloy wheel cleaner, tar remover to no avail. I think they need stripped and redone.

Anyone had theres done professionally?

Anyone got a non standard wheel? Id love to stick the solid fatboy style on

Cleaning - not sure
Custom wheels - will cost you thousands...nobody manufactures customs for our Intruders due to shaft drive and God knows what other reason. I think just one member has custom ones and they were stupidly expensive.

Shady, have you considered cleaning the spokes up with a dremel and scrubbing / cleaning attachment? If they are to pitted then the next possibility would be to have new spokes fitted. From there on, consider having them powder coated. After that, buy new wheels.

or chromed - even better ( but quite expensive I'd guess )

HAGON respoke wheels i had a rear wheel done before easy for me as there only 30 mins from were i live but plenty of people post there wheels to them and then there posted back when done you might be able to have thicker spokes fitted depends on wheel and what they say give them a ring

how much did the respoke cost? I might be better just buying newer wheels
