XT600 Rear Spokes

Hi everyone,
I was thrilled to find out that my XT (94) has failed its MOT for missing one rear spoke (bummer!). I have been looking on Google and Ebay etc.. but can't find a set for sale anywhere. Does anyone know where I can buy some spokes from? My rear wheel fits a 17 inch tyre not an 18 inch. I really don't want to have to order some specialist hand-made titanium space shuttle part or something since I am basically skint and need to make this a low cost operation.

I used these people when I rebuilt my rear wheel (I had more than one spoke broken, and most loose, so I did the whole thing):

Central Wheel Components Limited

Great products, but best to send them a sample of what you need, as they don't seem to keep specifications in stock for rare bikes like the XT If they have the specs there, they will be from my bike!

Loads of stuff in the catalogue, complete with price lists etc.

I bought a full set of spokes for the rear in stainless, and rebuilt it on my old hub and rim. 55GBP for 40, and I only used 36, so I have four spare.

Paul, are you interested in them, if you only need a few?

Hi BlackDogZulu,
Send me a PM saying how much you want for all four and we may strike a deal.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
