Ummm.... I just won these:

I've heard of PC from watching moto/supercross, so I figured these were pretty good. They need seals, but WTH. Paid $164 incl. shipping. Guess I just need the KX triples, wheel/axle/rotor, and brake assembly?
eBay is neat. (can I say that? We're not like DRN, right?)

PC has a good reputation. If you have the owner's first name to go with the last (Andrews) you can call the PC location where they were rebuilt and get the exact set-up info from them.

Hey, Krazyinski, I tried to PM you but haven't been able to get it through. Send me the info on the wheel at:
(my screen name) at hot mail dot com
Does the wheel include the brake rotor and axle?
Thanks!

I sent pics to ya, did you get them? the wheel has a Maxxis IT with a heavy duty tube and slime in it tire is ok to some standards but worn out by mine I can take off to save on shipping. I need to help off set the price on the excel rims so an honest price on the wheel. about spacers I have 2003 KX spacers
will they work? one short and one long.

Do you need a KX caliper? I bought one and decided to sue my KDX brakes.

Yikes! What did your KDX brakes do to you?!

I saw the typo after I posted it. I knew somebody would make a comment about me sueing my caliper.
I was going to use a KX caliper and run the line underneath like on a KX. Once I got to that point and started messing around with it I decided I didn't like the KX routing under the forks and just used my whole KDX front brake. It was a lot easier and I didn't even have to bleed it to get the air out of the lines because I never took it apart.
The whole swap went pretty smoothly. I used the KX bearing nut as a spacer and bought some .016" aluminum sheet at Ace Hardware to use as shim material on the upper clamp. I haven't ridden it yet, but just from sitting and bouncing on it I can tell it is stiffer.

You keep setting them up, I'll keep knocking 'em down...
Seriously, thanks for that info. I was wondering how the setup was, and read guys didn't like the cable hanging down. I have a mechanical engineer as my riding buddy. I'm sure he can over-engineer a solution to any routing/connection issues.
