Hi I am looking to swap or part exchange my mags for spokes on a T100 Bonneville . So any info welcome where I can get this done .
The T100 has spoked wheels and the SE and other Bonnevilles have mags. Remember that there is a difference in front wheel size! Spokes are 19" and mags are 17"
The spokies are a lot harder to clean than mags and I believe you can only use with inner tubes and not tubeless tyres. Worth thinking about ?
Spokes also snap, especially the rear, costs the same as a tyre change plus spoke(s), there are about 7 different part numbers if I recall from my own experience. IMHO spokes look nicer than cannon wheels!
Think I will stick with my mags . Everything for motorcycles is so expensive . Maybe cheaper to trade bike in for different model .
Hi James, The best person to speak to is Doug Richardson (http://www.drwheelbuilding.com/triumph.html) - he used to work fro Triumph and now hand builds wheels as a full time job. He did mine on custom Talon Hubs and they are the absolute business. Yes they are not cheap but you get what you pay for and IMO there is not a better look!! Hit him up and see what he can do for you. Regards Jonathan
