[QUOTE="strider80, post: 968669, member: 39167"] Well I ended up getting a full set of spokes from Buchannon for $70 or so shipped. They are ones from a KX 250, the spokes and nipples were both larger diameter(I didn't realize this before ordering, probably last forever now). I was planning on just replacing the 4 broken ones in place, but after I realized the nipples would not fit the stock rim I decided to suck it up and pull off the tire to drill out all the nipple holes on the rim. I drilled and replaced 2 spokes(with anti-seize on the threads) at a time so that the rim would stay relatively true. It took me about 3 hours to unmount the tire, drill the rim, replace all the spokes and torque them up relatively easily by hand. Tonight I am going to torque them with a torque wrench and see if I can true up the wheel a little better. The rim did not run true before I started this whole process, so hopefully without too much effort I can get it better than before. Most of the spokes were pretty seized up so I cut most off with bolt cutters to speed things up. [/QUOTE]
