Show some pics of the hubs you are using and the diameter of rims you plan to use and I will try and see if its already in my spoke length database.

Hi.
Hubs are P11 Stock.
Thanks.
Piero
 
I have a 1968 P11 A.
The hubs are those whit flanged into, not skimmed.
Thanks
Piero
 
I do not have a P11, will never have a P11 let alone a 68, so you need to give me more info as I am not researching what hubs are fitted to a 68 P11. You have also given no info on the rims.
 
Hi.
Stock rims.
Front Dunlop WM2 19x40 and rear Dunlop WM3 18x40.
If you dont know thanks tha same.
Piero
 
No info on the front, I only have the info for a rear hub in a 19" rim not an 18" rim.

19" rear 7" AMC hub

40 off 02-1152 SPOKE,5-3/4 X 11 GAUGE STRAIGHT

0.250" Brass Nickel Plated Nipples

11 gauge looks too light especially in Stainless, I would go 10 gauge.
 
Hi.
Please again.

Piero,

Whatever you do, do not buy spokes and try and shorten them - not even by rolling on a new thread, it is bad practice. The poor old tappet and the humble spoke are process heavy in what they require to be made.

Ring central wheel components.

Yes.
I understand.
But i cannot buy without to know the lenght of the spokes!

If you order from Central Wheel and give them the details of hubs and rims then they will supply the right length spokes. You do however need to tell them the nipple hole size in your rims and a better description of the hubs other than saying stock, they will not give you the spoke length as they keep that to themselves.

Alternatively if you can measure the hubs and rims then you can use an online spoke length calculator for bicycles but the results will need changing to suit a motorcycle.

Hi Pierodn,
You are probably looking to buy new spokes. For the 18" rear wheel, Devon Rim Company offers the AMC11-SSP kit which should fit your hub/rim (offroad spec).
You will need to call them asking for the f/w kit. I am sure they can supply that one as well. Devon Rim has served me well in the past.

Hi,
thank you very much.
Everyone tells me where to buy but no one tells me what the length!
You understand that is more easy for me to buy the spokes here in Italy, they supply good stainless steel spokes but i dont know the lenght!
It is a secret!.
Piero
 
I bought new spokes from Buchanan last winter... when I get home I will look into what I purchased.

Best Regards,
George
 
sketch sent to Buchannans Spoke & Rim, received very nice stainless steel spokes and stainless nipples.
