Howdy worship1
have a friend who is gonna be lacing up some new front and rear spokes to a '75 Kawasaki Z-1B 900 like mine ( Not mine ) he wants to read up on this, have looked in both my factory manual and my Clymer manual, see no reference on how to do this.
Would like to help my friend out by finding and printing this for him. puzzledicon
Can you help me find a how to or tutorial I can get and print? byeicon
Thanks

I usually just lean an extra wheel up against the wall and copy it B)

Re-laced my smoker rims just recently,never done it before.
Not as difficult a task as you would think.

And yes as wireman mentioned....have another wheel handy you can copy from. ;)

Buchanan's said they would lace a rim for $100
with about a two week turn around.

I could wait two week's at that knowing it's done right
and I've lace'd a few rim's over the year's.

that is a great "before and after" pic.

+1 for lacing them yourself. Its not nearly as hard as many would make you believe. it just takes patience and an eye for detail.
