Default Street Bob rusty spokes, SS replacement?

Hey Folks,

My spokes on my Street Bob look horrible. It's hard to keep up with the salty air around here. The front I have handled, I'm going to a 21". On the rear I plan to dismantle the wheel, powdercoat the rim and hub, and go with stainless spokes. I've searched, but haven't been able to find what size I need to replace the rear spokes. A stainless spoke part number would be awesome, but a size or what to look for would certainly help. TIA

I'm going to a Deuce wheel in the rear. I just haven't decided on the powdercoat yet.

Stainless spokes for me is a no-no... too many horror stories.

wonder if painting them gloss black would work on the long run.
