From 89 til 04 is the same. On http://www.kawasaki.com/Home/Home.aspx
search for "owner info" than for "parts diagram". Than you can see alparts of your bike.
But al Kawasaki's hubs are the same, only the bearings have changed some times.
So to find some spokes and rims would be easy.

Thanks I'll check the Kawasaki site if I have to go the spoke wheel way.  I think I can get a hold of some Honda CBR600 F2 wheels pretty easily and real cheap.  I was wondering how involved the process is.  Questions like how to get the calipers to match up, axles, spacers, and any other fabricating I would need?  Do you all know of anyone that might have done the swap?

T10t Here is that pic i promest.

The RM hub is 3mm smaller than KX, there for I've made a 3mm thick spacer
between my RM hub and brakedisk.
Made it on a special way that it still suports the disk.
And with home made axel spacers and bigger bearings my spare wheel was done.

I have a set of gsxr rims I bought on ebay that a guy had set up for a KX250 I was going to put them on one of my 5's for street use, but that notion have kinda gone by the wayside so I may be able to let them go If you are interested in them.
