Good place for Stainless Steel spokes/nipples?

Coast to Coast
Can anyone suggest a good place to buy stainless steel spokes and nipples? I have a 72 CB500. I see a lot of sets out there, but I know there might be a lot of garbage too. Oh, and a fair decent price wouldn't hurt.

Thanks,
John
 
+1 for Buchanan's - pretty much the defacto standard for spokes. I run them on all my bikes - 8 wheels worth so far in my garage.
 
My CB360 has Buchanan's. At the time, $113 for the set of spokes and nipples for one wheel.

I talked to Kenny there, and he was really helpful. turns out it was Kenny Buchanan. He has his own CB350 and is very knowledgeable about them in particular.

The quality is excellent, they supply anti-sieze for the SS stuff, and I like the way they look. The CB350 uses Swaged Spokes (Thicker wire gauge at the ends for extra strength) unlike the cheaper china spokes I seen selling on E-Bay. Most I've seen there is single gauge spokes, and not a whole lot cheaper either.

Like brakes, spokes should never be a compromise....
