Ive just refurbished a 21" rim and center hub for a SL125K2. Looking at the CMSL micro fiche, 07.html">http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-sl125-motosport-125-k2-us_model729/partslist/F 07.html it shows two part numbers for the spokes, one for the outter and inner ones: Partnumber Qty 972723130310 18 974663130210 18 My question is why? Every aftermarket set or even OEM set Ive seen are one size fits all.

There are in fact two different spokes required for this bike's hub because the inner spokes need the flat head on a different (right angle) than those on the outter surface of the hub, where the head is on a slight off right angle because it is literally further out from center. So much for the one size fits all spoke aftermarket ones from Ebay. Just because they are the right length, doesnt mean they have the two head styles required to have a true wheel that doesnt wobble.
