Hello Fellow Honda Lovers

I have a 1908 CM200T. I hade the wheels powdercoated but my dumb ass cut the spokes before measuring. I contacted Buchannan's and they don't have the bike in their database. Does anybody know the length / Guage of spokes needed for front 16" with drum and rear 17" with drum? I am have a hell of a time finding spokes for this bike. I looked on EBay and they have spokes but doesn't tell me the size. On any other parts websites (CMSNL.com) their database says !8" front / 18" rear so I am confused. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have an 82 and I am getting ready to cut them and powder the hoops and drums. As long as the wheel is the same size I should be able to get you the info this week. Need to finish rebuilding the top end and do some welding before then though. So if you can bare with me I will get the info for you.
 
According to the microfiche at Honda:

SPOKE A (10X149) 97230-41138-10 Front inner spoke
SPOKE A (10X148.5) 97716-41137-10 Front Outer Spoke

The dimensions are in MM -10x149, 10x148.5
So the gauge is 10, the length 149 and 148.5 mm...

There is a discrepancy on the fiche, the 10x149 is also listed as 10x148
However, my experience,limited as it is, is that the inner spoke is the longer of the 2.

Rear:

020 SPOKE B (9X138) 97285-52116-10 Rear Inner
021 SPOKE B (9X137.5) 97631-52115-10 Rear Outer
 
SPOKE A (10X149) 97230-41138-10 Front inner spoke
SPOKE A (10X148.5) 97716-41137-10 Front Outer Spoke

So what size wheel is it? I m trying to convert to a 17" wheel and I stole spokes off of one of my other bikes I but cant remember which one.
 
There is a spoke calculator somewhere...I don't remember, but the stock spokes won't work with a smaller rim....

Beyond my present knowledge. I can find stock spokes easily enough, but custom ones are harder. If you are buying spokes from Buchanan's, they are quite helpful, and may have your answer.

Did you mean 17 front and 16 rear? I hope... Bikes usually have a smaller or same sized diameter rear wheel for a reason...
