Frenche, if you are interested, I have a very nice front wheel sitting in my garage that will fit your bike. Shipping will probably kill you though. The wheel is a "gold" dual fold rim on a stock KX hub.....my wheel builder really wants the rim, but if you like you can buy it from me.

the only difference is the axle size right ?
so if you take any kawasaki wheel with the same hub as the one that your forks came with and install the proper bearings and spacers you should be golden

6 riders, Thank you very much :-) but I'm looking for an aluminum color wheel, and anyway I think shippingwill be a deal killer... So make your whell builder happy :grin:

diymirage: in the first time I thought to keep my 93 KDX front wheel and change the bearings and spacer but for this adaptation the bearing required seem to don't exist..
You're right, but the problem is : I find the OEM number (41034-1226) for the entire hub (hub, seals, bearings, spacer), I can not find a number for the naked hub, so I can't find other machines (other than 125/250 KX 93-98 500KX 94-04) using the same hub .... :-(

Here's why I asked if anyone know of other wheels / hubs compatible with a KX 94-98 fork... :wink:

edit: i see the sames hub bearings (92045-1284 ) are used on lot of kx and kxf, but what about the largest of the hub and compatibility with: have wheel centered, brake disk with good diameter, and disk at the right place in the calipper :hmm:
