broke spokes

I was jumpin the fiddy yesterday on this 2ft tall mulch pile on the sidewalk by my friends house and i broke 12 spokes on the rear wheel when i came down one time. I cant ride it now so i need some advice on what i should do to fix it. It looks like a heavy duty spoke kit for one wheel is $60. Do those work on the stock rim? I also read that i need to drill out the hub to get em to work. Im not sure how much the honda dealer would try to sell some oem ones for, but id rather get something stronger so it doesnt break again. Any recomendations on what i should do? I really dont wanna spend a lot of money on this.

Re: broke spokes

see if you can pick up a stock spoke kit or even a whole new stock back tire. because it blows ***** having to pay for new HD spokes and having to drill out bigger holed to make them fit on the stock rims

Re: broke spokes

Im bouncing mine off cubs at about 20mph and they take it like a sherman tank.
