the wheel set is OEM hubs. The front rim was replaced. Unless you are talking about the set on the bike.
I am not wanting to part it out at this time.

What were your thoughts on the rear shock change? I'm seriously considering doing the same.

It smoothed out the rear and gave me more adjustability. BUT, with the time the BFRC has been out, the right suspension tech or company can make it work on par with the KYB now.

I can't give you an honest answer, the RMZ has suspension done and the motor mounts removes a lot of the rigidity of the aluminum frame while the KTM is still stock. But, I can tell you that I still do not like the air forks, just as on the Showa TAC, the AER forks do not like to stay settled for turns.

I currently ride a ktm, 250sx, 350sxf, but have been thinking of going back to an rmz450 for a while now, due to the handling characteristics and engine character, they are honestly really good bikes, i take off the rims and put better ones on and run ufo plastics, on the 18-22 model i run a 2008 kawasaki kx450f rear shock and i drill holes in the free pistons in a reversed spiral manor and then i put kyb spings in the showa 49mm fork, and run 14mm of preload on the kyb spring, i use factory connection 5 wt oil.

And honestly the bike handles just as well as the austrian machine, only thing i have noticed that is a down side is the head stud bolts rust sort of easy, and the bike feels a little heavy if you dont ride it alot.
