Can someone direct me to the best source of proper new spokes and rims for lacing up front and rear '74 Z1 rims? Thanks.

I have sent 20 to 25 hubs to be laced up to Buchanan's over the years. NEVER had a problem with their workmanship!!

I remember they were Buchanan's Frame Shop when I first started dealing with them back in the early 70's.

They are not the cheapest, just the BEST!!!!!!!!!!

1976 KH400 Production Road Racer.
1979 Kz1000 MK. II Old AMA/WERA Superbike.
1986 RG500G 2 stroke terror.
1986 GSXR750RG The one with the clutch that rattles!
