I didnt even think about anything like that! I guess I'm still stuck on the Nikisil plated cylinders, the hayabusa guys run 1/2" studs and they just drill them out right on a drill press and never have issues..... Maybe I should grab a set of ninja 300 cylinders instead if I go this route!

For now I will be running 8mm studs though so no drilling yet!
