HAWK Rear Spoke Length? What to Buy?

[NickThrash]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew the right measurement of the HAWK's rear spokes? I'm down 2 spokes already and I cant figure out Buchanan's list of their spokes, they list them by gauge size and I have no clue what to order. I would prefer to buy a few individual spokes rather than spend $30-50 on a whole set.

MotoCheez did a vid on the rear spokes and gave a link but the ebay link says they are 16" but then also says they are 162mm. They have them as a whole set and i don't want to buy a whole set when im not even sure if they are saying they are 16in or 162mm
(Kinda holding out on the eBay link as a last resort)

Here's that Link:

Buchanan:



eBay:



Thanks in advance.

Have you gotten this one figured out? I would like to order spares just in case.

Same here! Corn stalks can play hell on spokes. I kept all the straight spokes off my taco'd front wheel, so I have spares for it.

Sorry guys, Haven't gotten any help yet... The eBay ones might be the right ones because Motocheez said he bought them but im not sure and not wealthy enough to risk the money lol

if we knew for sure the Ebay ones are the right ones you could buy a set and sell off the rest on here to guys like us that only need a few.

Thanks for the heads up. Cross them off the list.

I wonder if the spokes for tt250 would work? http://www.cscmotorcycles.com/TT250-...p/zt26-114.htm Can one of the TT250 guys verify the length and diameter?

You know what, that might work. It says the tt250 has an 18in rim so i would think the spokes would be about the same. That might be the solution.

No, TT250 spokes do not work on a Hawk...... different sized hubs.

Thanks for verifying that. So the search goes on.

how bout taking one off the bike and measuring it. may need to google where to measure to on the spoke and get gauge. if your already down two i would get a heavier gauge spoke.

Even with the length (162mm) I cant figure out where to buy or order one/some. Like said, buchanan doesnt just list "162 mm spokes, click here" they have a whole bunch of numbers and gauge sizes i have no idea what would work for the HAWK. Even with the eBay one saying they were 162mm someone confirmed that they are in fact the wrong ones.

So we are trying to get info about what would work, and where we could get them, from someone who knows more about spokes or dirt bikes in general.

I would call Buchanon's, and tell them you would like to send them two spokes off of your wheel so they can match them up, and please send your old ones back with the new ones. I'd tell them I wanted 6 new spokes, and see what they say....ARH
