HD 18x3.5 rim laced to 550 rear hub; anybody done it?
« on: January 20, 2010, 07:56:36 AM »
The guys at Buchanan's had me make a couple of quick measurements and sent me a set of spokes that they assured me would fit.

Right off the bat, I realized that the lacing pattern of the HD rim was going to be a whole lot different from the Honda rim.  After some head scratching & a couple vodka tonics, I think I [mostly] got it put together:



Pretty obvious though, that the spokes they sent are waaaay to long.


So before I call and #$%*, I'm curious to know if there's anybody who's already been down this road and knows the correct spoke length and/or correct part numbers that I need to order from Buchanan's.

Thanks!
