KZ 900 conversion to 17"spoke front wheel was created by ao32
Hello Forum
Please be graceful with me. I want to change my stock wheels to spoke wheels. I do not know where to begin. I've searched the forum and what i learned is going to a 17" appears to be a good option. Does anyone have a tutorial on how to build a spoke wheel and what hubs are needed to fit my 76 KZ 900

I have done this very thing on my '73 Z1-900. See my Z1-900 link in my signature. I can be quite involved by the way.

ebay will have the hubs you need.
1977 1978 kz1000 may be more popular parts source for the laced wheels. I can build you a set if you want. I have the same setup in my garage.
You have rear drum?
Buchannon spokes as kits aready for the spokes, nips and rims
