G'Day Rob,
There were a set of mags for a KLX 650 about 2 weeks ago on EBay.
They do come up from time to time there, both wire wheels, and mags been converted.
Neil has converted the billet hubs and wheels from his DRZ into his KDX so maybe theres a quick fix using Suzuki gear for your 650 too?

All just depends on hub spacing - I'm not sure how universal the kwack hubs are or whether I just lucked out on the KDX rear. But, anything can be made to fit with a welder and a grinder ;)

cheers guys, ive asked around a few places and no one has any idea.. I know japan makes a d tracker 300 motard, so maybe I could pick some of them up from somewhere?

Easiest way is to find some klx rims at a wrecker and lace up some 17's I'd reckon. If you run the same sort of caliper as many other bikes then you can use the same relo bracket for a 320mm disc (the nissin 2 piston sliding pin calipers seem to be about universal). If you can find something that basically fits you can move other stuff around a bit, such as spacing out sprockets or discs etc it just depends on how much you have to spend to get the bits made up.

eracer should be able to add something here depending on when he next is around....

well I would only need the front rim really, as I already have a 17 on the rear end, Ive been told i'd have to adjust the rake on my forks or something also? Not sure on how true this would be.. ill ring around a few wreckers tommorow and see what I can come up with.

Cheers,
Rob
