I would PM alward25 and see what he has available.
If he offers no help then I would contact http://www.procycle.us/ as they have done some custom stuff for me from time to time.

I know 89-94 KDX200 wheels are the same or real close. Don't remember what spacers I used. I think they were the 500 ones.

It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

The real minus is finding one that is not torched.  Seized spokes, bad wheel bearings.  Hard to find old stuff like that in good shape.  Good luck!

like my old stock wheels were :|....rear hub was beyond shot!!....and spraying PB Blaster on the nips and letting em sit over night did nuthin.

gave me all the incentive to make sure that my new ones don't get like that.

I saw that on your forum before, it looks effective.

but for my lazy a$$...I found it much easier and quicker to just buy a brand new set of complete wheels...bolt on-n-go :-P

Married for 30 years, had two kids, and had crappy jobs!
