Broken wheel spoke

Broken wheel spoke
Hi y'all. Well, it finally happened. Been riding since 1972 and I recently had a wheel spoke break on my bike. After some research I've decided to have all of the spokes replaced and of course have the wheel trued and balanced. But, this is new territory for me. Where do I take my beloved 06 DWG for the fix? I live in the Indianapolis area. A dealer? An independent and if so, which one? Thoughts? Observations? Experiences? Suggestions? Adios!!! HD

Unless the dealer in your area has a competent "wheel man" I'd recommend checking out a local dirt bike tech ... They have the talent and time ( in most cases ) to do a quality job at a fair price ... I'd also recommend checking out Buchanan Spokes ... In my opinion they are one of the best in the business of spokes
