Aftermarket HD spoke rims to Kaw hubs

Streetfighterkz

Been Around the Block
I recently picked up a set of 18"x3.5" and 18"x4.5" RevTech 40-spoked bare rims for my '74 Kaw H1 project I have on the back burner. The H1 uses a 19"/18" F/R 40-spoke combo.

Maybe I'm over thinking this, but is it as easy as getting a new "replacement" spoke set for the rear since the diameters are not changing and then getting a 18" front spoke kit from Buchanan and start lacing away? I'm concerned about nipple angle, size and such on the rim side of things.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? Another forum suggested contacting Buchanan but I have a feeling that they'll want to sell me a "custom" set of spokes when the stockers may work on the rear.
