If you're refering to vintage_001, I'd be a bit cautious, as his feeback profile has some negatives.  Looks like a tendency to exagerate just a bit, at least some buyers have expected more than they received.

Is it possible to get original parts replated?

Thanks for the words.
Sometimes re plating spokes don't allways look right!
Thanks.
Reed.

I sent PIT REPLICA a inner and outer spoke sample from a GTR and he sent me 2 free set of spokes for my help. They look great, the only difference is they are not dual diameters. They are a constant diameter the OD of the largest part on the Bridgestone spoke hub end. I checked them over pretty good and found no problems with the bend angles and spoke nipples are identical. Don't know if he is selling them yet as I believe he is waiting on me to spoke a wheel up with them first.
Another parts source to keep the Bridgestones on the road!

I spoked up my 175 racer with Buchanan stainless steel (unpolished).  Looks pretty good, but not quite OEM ( actually too shiny). Worst part is the cost - $225 for 2 wheels worth of spokes + a couple of spares.

I did the spokes the easy way, just called Richard Clark and ordered them, I think they were 100$ for both sets, front and rear
