Wheel Question was created by austin3119
Will the hub and spokes from my KZ900 lace up directly to one of these excel rims, or do you have to order new spokes?

RESWM91840 EXCEL WM9 (4.25) x 18" CHROMED STEEL RIM - 40 HOLE

Thank you

I don't know for sure, but from what I've read, the spokes need to be a little shorter because many of the wider aftermarket rims have a "deep drop center". It would depend on your specific rim. Anyway, here's a link for a site I ran across just last week and it is awesome for information and parts. I just wish all of this cool stuff was cheaper! Maybe it will help...

That's where my spokes are from :)

Did you buy stock length spokes? If so, and they need to be shorter, Buchanan offers a service to shorten spokes too. Might be cheaper than buying new.
