I currently have a special with a ZXR400L front end. Please could someone tell me what wheels from other Kawasakis will also be a straight swap for a 400L wheel?

there is nothing wrong with the current wheel, in fact I am very happy with it, however, I have a wet tyre that I would like to place on the front within the minimum of time (when required) and not rely on the services of the Race supply/services at a track day or race day, if you know what I mean.
Therefore, it would be useful to know when looking through all the ebay listings etc what other models will fit/compatible so that it gives me a wider choice of wheel that is effectivel the same as the that is already on my bike

KR1 frame, ZXR400L front end, ZX6R Prolite discs, RGV250P swingarm, Aprilia RS250 rear wheel and caliper, one off rear disc, RGV250M tank, '97 Aprilia RS250 fairing, Honda RS125 seat (modified), cut back sub frame, Nikon pipes, modified R6 shock. Std engine except tighter squish and deck heights of cylinders matched.
Goes quite nice, pulls well but runs out of puff at 11K

Quick enough to embarass much bigger newer bikes at Brands

With one new spacer I now use a ZZR600 front wheel on my H race bike - might be worth a shot as ZZR wheels are a damn sight easier (cheaper) to get hold of.....
Hope this helps

Just to add another contender:
17" GPz900R Wheel (allegedly, you can fit the rear too ! I will be trying

)
