extra spokes, touch up paint
 

I traded in my 2003 gz250 for a V Star Custom a few weeks ago. I have about 34 extra spokes left over from my gz250 (rear tire, if that matters) from an incident where my bike was towed improperly and one of the spokes was broken. Long story short, my mechanic had to order a new set of spokes and "true" the tire. He gave me the extra spokes, which I was hanging on to in case I ever broke a spoke again. An entire set cost $46.00 and you can't order just a few - have to get an entire new set (I tried). Anyway, if there's anyone out there who might want a spoke or two just in case, if you want to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope, I'll throw a couple in there and mail it back to you (if you want to throw in a buck for each spoke, great, but I'm not doing this to make money).

I've also got a blue touch up pen I barely used for a few scratches. I don't know what other year blue was available, but I know I've seen a few blue ones on here. This pen is from a company called Color Rite and the local dealer pointed me there for this (said dealers don't carry them?). It's the factory color and matches exactly. I also ordered the clear coating pen and paid $15.00 for each. Again, if you're interested PM me and if you want to kick in a couple bucks to boot, great.

I almost envy you in your pain. A spoke set in the GWN was $140 last year. Lynda almost choked at the cost but what can you do ? Oh, that's right, upgrade to a bike with cast wheels. Still have a bunch of spare spokes.

I'll never own another bike with spokes. ;)

Hello!

I discovered today that one of the spokes on my last tire was broken. Have you guys any more and is it possible to order just few of them?

thanks!

My man, it's been 3 years since these guys were around.... :)

There was a post a while ago about where to get lots of spokes for almost nothing. You may have to do some digging to find it. I would help, but I'm a little distracted today.

Good luck

No problem, i'll dig... ;)
Thanks Jonathan!

PimpS if it's the rear wheel - I have 12 spokes laying around that I once bought from another member here because some of mine are a bit rusty, and I'll be happy to air mail you one for an all-in price of $0. Just PM me your address.
