http://www.buchananspokes.com/ IF they don't have it, they'll make it for you. Probably set you back about $300. I built my KX wheels and two XR100s up with Buchanan rims and spokes.

For what I gave for it, screw Japan. All my bikes since 1967 save one Alstate Compact (Puch) and one BSA Lightning 650 have been Japanese. I've owned the best, the fastest. I've raced TZ250s at...

Yup, trap does the work so I don't have to. :P Hogs are a big time problem in Texas, overpopulation. They're feral and they tear up range and crops. We trap 'em, shoot 'em, chase 'em with dogs...

CB350s were okay, but I preferred my RD350 and 400 Yamahas, much more fun. They'd run rings around an old CB and were a lot simpler to maintain. I had expansion chambers and porting on the 350,...
