Is drilling the hub ok? was created by Pop147
I have a set of buchanan spokes that won't fit in my rear hub on a kz750 b4. The outer spokes on the drive side will not make the bend. Has anyone had this problem, is it ok to drill the hub.

Drilling the hub is not a good idea as you will not be precise enough and you will have extra holes. Just contact Buchanan and explain the problem to them. They will be able to provide the correct spokes. Ed

i think he meant just opening up the existing holes to fit the spokes. might work? i would call Buchanan's though.
