I bought a 84 tecate front wheel to put on my YTM-225DX. I wanted a 10 inch. front wheel for riding on the ice this winter.
I put the brake on the right side because the cover was touching the left fork. The axle is the same diameter has the Yamaha. I only cut the Kawasaki axle spacer because the Yamaha fork are narrower. Here the result after less then a hour of work. Just need to order and install new bearing, buy a tire and stud it...
What do you all think?

For now no. The tecate axle was directly at the end of the fork. The brake is held by a tab on the fork tube, and it won't fit. That why I put the brake on the right side. I'll see if I can adda bracket without modifying too much the fork tube, because I still want to swith back to the stock wheel for the summer.
