Ninja wheels on a KLX250SM?

Will they fit? I'm looking for some solid spoke wheels that ideally would be a drop in replacement. Any suggestions?

they are not a drop in replacement!
front wheel of ninja has brakes on the opposite side and the rear rim is a 3.5"... the SF rear rim is 4".
Now having said that... its been done before!

Huh, darn. How about other options for solid spoke wheels? Are there any that are a drop in, or am I looking at fab work no matter how I cut it?

Nice looking bike & yes those ninja wheels require clever fitting.

But yet again, another concept bike with fancy silicon rad hoses fitted wrongly!

Jesus. I wanted solid wheels, but not at $2500 for a set, that's insane.

exactly, solid wheels are pricey for a bike that retails for 5k. A purchase like that is purely overkill... but if I had the money I would do it in a heartbeat!! They look AWSOME!!!
