Hey guys, I'm new to motorcycles and this is my first build. Fortunately I have lots of help. I have a 79 XS4002e and am going for a cafe/tracker style. I've run into a problem lacing the wheels. I bought new black 18" front and rear aluminum rims from MikesXS(1.85"x18" & 2.15"x18") My problem is I ordered SS Spokes but didn't realize they were for the xs650. The mechanic lacing my wheels managed to lace the front wheel but the spokes for the rear hub and rim were too short. I want to order a custom set for the rear from Buchanan's but I don't know the specs for the rear wheel. I foolishly cut through the old spokes and threw them away so I can't even measure them or send them a sample. Can someone tell me what size spokes to order for my rear wheel please? Also I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot.
