I got 4 new ones from a local Honda dealer, the new ones were much tighter fitting in the hub, I had to grease them up and tap them in with a mallet.
Im not sure what the tolerance is for them but the ones that came with the bike would go in and out without any resistance at all.

The cush drive studs had a bit of play in them on their own. When I seated the studs on the sprocket and then put it on the hub they were nice and tight, oddly.
I am all for upgrading them. What model Honda did the studs you bought come from? Or what Part Number?
I got lucky with the cross threading as far as the wheel goes, but 2 of the bolts that hold down the rear tray to the bike were both cross threaded, and a couple of others were partially stripped. I spent a lot of time with my tap set chasing threads. I have a couple of holes I am going to try Loctite's new Form A Thread on.

Probably a good idea, and yea, there never does seem to be enough time in the day. Always pesky "responsibilities" that seem to eat it up lol.
