Hi Tim.......thanks Brother.......I always wanted to try and lace a motorcycle wheel......they look so much better than kit wheels.......but,It just seeemed like a lot of work and I was`nt really ready for the challenge...... but, it was pretty easy........just took a lot of time.......I`m sure a smaller wheels would be a lot harder but,I think I could do them too......I have seen how people do some wheels........... but,I tried a different way to do them......an experiment if you will and it worked out pretty good.........the wheels are 1/2 `s ......I left one 1/2 complete with plastic spokes.......and the other 1/2 I re-moved all the plastic spokes and drilled all the holes on the rim and hub for the spokes.......then I made a template spoke for the one side of the hub and one for the other side of the hub.........there is a tad difference in lenghth.......then I white glued the 1/2 hub to the other 1/2 hub t and the 1/2 wheel to the other 1/2 wheel and glued each spoke starting with one side of the 1/2 hub and then removing the 1/2 hub.......turning it up-side down and gluing the rest of the spokes to the other side in the diffierent direction.......then I did the sme thing to the other 1/2 of the wheel.......hope you understood what I was trying to say?.......I`m not very good at exsplaining things.......sorry
