Hi. I need a full set of 40 spokes and nipples to get this wheel spinning again. I think the hub is genuine.
Can anyone tell me who makes a set and the part number for it. I don't need genuine (although it would be nice :D ) Any help would be great.

If you are going to vintage race and want to run a Harley KR hub get the earlier steel version. Fred Pettis's brother Larry makes steel KR hubs. The aluminum KR hubs do not have enough metal between the spoke holes and blow apart especially when using the new dirt track tires. This looks like the mid 1980s XR hub with larger diameter flanges. Most likely a repop. They were not the answer. There were no factory spokes for this hub. You can send the hub and rim to Buchanen's.

Thanks for the info. It will be used in road race bike. A trip to Buchanens would be a bit costly for me so I might keep investigating the subject. How do I get in contact with the hub guy?

What type of road racer are you building?
If you send me your phone number I will forward it to Larry.
