Default Buchanan spokes

The wife is thinking about replacing her spokes with Buchanan diamond spokes. We'll be riding to California and that's where they have there shop.
Anyone ever have this done? Does the wheel usually stay true after?
Thanks for any input.

I've never had a problem with Buchanan's products. Most of the time i'm installing Stainless Buchanan spokes to replace the stock ones.

Thumbs up

Back in the day, a trip to Buchanan's was mandatory for me before hitting the Mx circuit as the factory built wheels would never hold up. Buchanan's always held up.

I agree. I lace the Buchanan Stainless Steel spokes for my drag bike.

I'm considering getting polished stainless steel spokes & nipples from Buchanans for my 21" HD chrome wheel.

I've heard that while Buchanans spokes are great, their polishing job isn't so hot.

Can anyone comment?

Thanks

I had the polished stainless on my old Road King and really liked them. Held up great without any problems.
