classic motorcycle forum

Hi All!

This is my first time on this forum, so please bare with me....


I've just finished priming and painting my M21 in a lovely Ole Army Drab green. But I'm looking to rebuild the front rim as several of the spokes on the one I have are broken. My dilemma is that in looking for a full replacement set of spokes. The only ones I am able to find are all polished stainless steel, and I don't need to tell any of you the pain and heart ache of having to paint stainless steel.

So I'm hoping that someone might know if somewhere I can buy plain steel spokes online (as I'm in Australia) or at least have a suitable method for painting the stainless spokes??

Any help is going to be greatly appreciated!!
