Black spokes for 18"/19" rims?

[edelweiss]

I'm having a set of rims (front and rear/unspoked) powder coated in satin black. The spokes will not be powder coated or else they will not fit into the hubs again.

Is there a company that sells black spokes that will fit my 72 CB500/4 rims? Rear is 18" and front is 19". I guess I would be in need of the nipples as well. Satin black spokes would be preferable to match the rims.

Thanks,
John

How many spokes? 36 or 40?

Lots of choices in the 36 spoke size....reasonable cost choices....

Who told you they won't fit? I have coated hundreds of spokes and never had an issue with them not fitting. Now if you have a coater who is amateur and doesn't know how to regulate powder thickness then I would agree.
Buchanan's only has Stainless, chrome plated carbon steel, or bare carbon steel spokes. If you find satin black spokes what do you think they did to get them that way?
When you run out of options I'll be glad to coat your spokes and nipples for $1.50 ea.

Hi Myd,
Are talking about black spokes? Not sure if I have 36 or 40. Do you have any links to the black spokes?

Thanks!

No, not spokes, black anodized rims.

Never seen black spokes except powder coated or painted.

edit: I mixed this post with the rim post....You don't see as much on the cell phone..

You could also try spoke wraps, like what they rock in the dirt bike scene.
