The Rad set up was a KTM front hub with a KTM rotor and special spacers. The rear hub was a early 1990's Honda hub with special spacers, honda sprocket and honda rotor from the early 90's as well. It worked ok, but the rear rotor was a 4 bolt rotor and I'm not too fond of that.

$725 for a complete set of wheels with all parts is a pretty good deal. I agree that using GasGas parts is preferable, since the next owner might not be so keen on finding parts for a "Franken-bike". Keep us posted.
By the way, I appreciate it when the importer takes the impetus to find aftermarket part sources for a brand that fill a void that the aftermarket mfgs would not go after.
