Spoke Wraps

If you have facebook and "like" them, you get a 15% off coupon making it pretty reasonable (would cover shipping).
Their shop is about 60 miles from my house, I might give them a try! Been wanting to PC my spokes anyway...since they are in the early stages of pitting and corroding. Sad, my bike doesn't see rain, when it gets washed it gets blown dry by a leaf blower....thanks HD for the quality spokes!

Thanks for the previous compliments.
Hey Mang , yes I did. I emailed them first to check fitment and they were fast and friendly to respond.
------ just a note about installation. I think they'd be impossible to put on with the wheels still on. The front wheel is pretty easy, just use plenty of soapy water to help them slide past the other spokes. The rear is more difficult with the pulley and rotor in the way and the spokes are pretty much touching each other, very tight fit. It still beats waiting for someone to powdercoat them and wait for someone else to true the wheels and remount the tires etc etc.

FYI...for those without facebook, the code is FB1 for 15% off. I was given permission to share that with you guys. However, if you do have facebook, give the company some props and "like" them to get them some face time.
He also said they have a how to video on their page, which was helpful for me as I would have been fighting the darn things. Putting in my order on Friday.

Dejavu!
To many years ago. I had them on a bicycle I used to ride back in the, 60's? All different colors! Now that I think about it - the bicycle had fat tires - beach style bars - twin rear baskets w/ hanging tail lights - rear book (luggage) rack - handlebar streamers - rear wheel generator for front and rear lighting. HMMMMM! Possibly a pre-cursor to my Road King? NAAAAAH! The bicycle was red - the Road King is black!
