Indeed Bryan, including that front-wheel you've offered me😉 I've built my xs650 wheels before but more than welcome any tips mate
Bryanj:
OK, this is the way i do it.
There are two different ends at the hub end in angle and depth. One is fitted inwards from the outside so you see the head at the hub, the othe is fitted outwards from the inside so you dont see the head, there are 20 of each.
Fit only the ones that go inwards and fit the rim using just these 20, 10 per side.
Get the wheel truded as best you can on just these 20 spokes not forgetting Honda spec is 1/8 for side to side and up and down, no doubt you will get it closer than that BUT dont try and true out the jump where the weld is.
After you have done this it is easy to fit the other spoke from inside to outside and fit then tighten.
Doing this you are only truing on half the spokes which is way easier

Very good advice Bryan, and a very satisfying job to do. Last wheel I did I followed that advice from a previous post and it worked a treat.
