Dragonaut, I just lost one. So, I'm happy to buy some. I'll take two of each, so six total. Now for the dumb question. Is left and right based on looking at the bike from the front or how it's ridden? I lost a left spoke if I'm sitting on the bike and a right spoke if I'm looking at the bike from the front.
OldRider beat me to it but yes, I am referring to left and right as seen from the (normal!) riding position astride the motorcycle.

The last left spoke is spoken for (har har). I have 1 center spoke and 9 right spokes remaining. I would take $10 (plus shipping) for the final 10 if anybody wants them. I'm moving on to another bike and would like to get these out of the way.

I always sold spoke in a set of four, 1-left 1-right & 2 center, so I wouldn't end up with too many odds and ends. This is a great deal for anyone who wants some extra spokes because although there are three different length spokes, the difference in length is so small that you can get by using them in any location. As you can see in the picture below, the right spoke will work in the center or on the left side.

This is good info! Thanks. If I had it to do over again, I'd do it this way. But I was just a guy who needed a single spoke for his bike and had to buy an entire $100 set to get it, so I was just trying to recover some of the cost and get all these extra spokes out of the way. But I did not actually know that the spokes were interchangeable. It seems like, anecdotally, the left side is usually where spokes get lost from - perhaps subjected to more strain because it's the driveshaft side? I dunno.

I just sent you a PM about 2 sets not seeing there were just rights/ and 1 center, but will take the last 10 instead. So $10 plus shipping right??? Give me a total price to 83670. Bob
