It’s probably one of the easier fits and the price sound fair if it’s a nice strait rim. But you still need to make sure you get the wheel centered.
Get a 18’ KZP wheel to the front and you are all done. I put a 18’ front wheel on my old Gpz750R1 -82 that I used as a rack bike and I found it much more neutral when cornering hard.

Darn, the 18’ rear wheels looks like a really hard find, :blink: fleebay is full of 16’but only one butt ugly 18' for 100US, too bad it doesn’t make sense to ship the one I have standing around. :pinch:
