After getting a price on OEM front rim ($300 +) and spokes ($200) what a joke, OTR can supply an EXCEL rim INCLUDING SS spoke for just over $300 PLUS postage. Problem solved. Might even go the whole hog and get the flash hub as well.
And postage isnt too much, about $50 for my crash bars and front guard and bits and pieces.
Will investigate a local purches / price before l part with cash but hard to buy local these days. Sad.
