Re: dirt bike rims of 40 spoke count?
I believe that most all Kaw and Honda models had 40 spoke counts. Yam and Suzuki used 36 count, as a general rule. The Honda line should provide a fairly large range to check out. Or get New, from Buchanans, or Component Wheel in England. Merry Christmas Mark, and to all the rest. All the best for 2012!!

Re: dirt bike rims of 40 spoke count?
Yep, you should be able to find a blank modern shouldered Akront 40 holer with no probs.
Not cheap, mind you, but fairly available.
Takasago or DID may have something that would be (relatively) cheaper than the Akronts....maybe.
Good luck with your project.
