Buchanan Spoke Stainless Steel 18 Inch Single Stage Spoke Set for Harley Davidson WL

Front OE type spoke set for conventional style rims features 20 long and 20 short spokes with 40 spoke nipples.

The Buchanan Spoke Stainless Steel 18 Inch Single Stage Spoke Set offers a durable and corrosion-resistant solution for restoring or customizing Harley Davidson WL models from 1938 to 1947. Featuring a natural finish, these 9-gauge spokes are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, ensuring long-lasting performance and aesthetic appeal. Crafted specifically for use on 18-inch front conventional rims, these spokes are ideal for use with brake drum sides, following a cross pattern for optimal wheel stability and strength. The set includes all necessary components for a reliable wheel build, providing a straightforward installation process for enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Each spoke has a diameter of 3.5mm, with a length suitable for typical front drum wheel lacing applications. To ensure proper torque and prevent nipple seizing, it is critical to thoroughly coat all spoke and nipple threads with lubricant before assembly. Using the recommended 26mm long nipples, as suggested for these wheels, helps achieve the correct tension and wheel trueing. For longer nipples, the compatible #45-0922 40 Piece Spoke Nipple Set Stainless Steel is available separately, facilitating adjustments for different wheel configurations or custom builds. Proper lubrication during assembly not only prevents seizing but also allows for precise torque application, ensuring wheel integrity and safety.

This spoke set pairs seamlessly with the included accessory items like the 18-inch x 2.15-inch Front Wheel Assemblies and the stainless steel nipple sets, making it a comprehensive solution for wheel rebuilding projects. Manufactured in Taiwan, these spokes meet quality standards for durability and performance, making them a reliable choice for restoring vintage Harley Davidson WL bikes or customizing new builds. Invest in this high-quality spoke set to enhance your motorcycle’s performance and aesthetic appeal, backed by trusted brand Buchanan Spoke and OEM
