91 kdx250 rear wheel swap

Post by Kdxcrane »

First post here and i hope its in the right spot.. ive got a 91 kdx 250 thats in really good shape except for the rear rim/spokes. I also have a set of 08 klx450r wheels in mint shape.. the rear rim is the same size as is the spacing from sprocket to disk. Axle is bigger but bearing OD is the same so i can use my kdx axle. Seal spacers might be different but ive got a machinist buddy who can make them. The biggest problem ive got is the rear rotor is bigger than the kdx and I doubt they make a smaller one. If i could find a "solid" rotor, he can machine it down to the OD of the kdx. I thought about just lacing the new wheel to my old hub but the spokes and nipples are .5-1.0 mm bigger.. any advice on this?
