Start watching craigs list, or how bout that Bent Bike place I hear they have all kinds of parts.
I was visiting Family a few weeks ago and got some good parts off a bike in the bushes at the neighbors by Granite Falls, I wish I had room to bring the whole bike home.

Be patient and start watching and asking around one will turn up.

The only thing you will have to do to change to spoked wheels is change to a drum brake in the rear. Yamaha never put a spoked wheel with a disc brake on the 650.
