    Suzuki GT250 or similar wire wheels

    I'm after some Suzuki GT250 wheels, the older spoked wheels not the X7 mag wheels.
    Failing that, I'm after something similar such as RD250 wheels.

    Located in Auckland for pick up but happy to pay shipping.

    Well the first model X7s had spoked wheels but I'm sure you knew that.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Thanks for that Husa. There's none of any of those around for sale in NZ currently though hahaha.
    TDR wheels look like great wheels but really wide! Trying to replicate the late 60s/early 70s race bike look on my GT250 (loads of cutting and welding to polish this turd).
    Would actually prefer terrible drums because it's just a chill street bike but starting to look at old solid single disks now for lack of supply.

    Thanks Neil, will keep that in mind. Would prefer not to build a set of wheels but it might come to it.

    Maybe find a chook chaser rear say XT250 or XL250 as they have a 2.15-2.5X17 with a alloy rim
    CB250RS had from memory 1.85 and 2,15 18 with a rather nice slab sided rim (but a disk at the front)

    they had pretty decent forks (about 35mm)for the time as well.
    If you can't find a decent 7-8 inch drum ie GT or YDS7 Then a GN250 front drum they were 2ls
    I have a 8 inch 2LS rear (but you are not getting that.)
    Have you seen this thread?
    http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...c-Suzuki-TR250

    If you could find a decent T500 hub on Ebay USA me and Grumph know a guy (that used) to do Fontana replica brakeplates
    last time I talked to him he still had a few machined left, I don't know where they went or who had the mould.
    if you plan on keeping the bike and are dead set on a Drum I would just keep looking on Ebay for a Grimeca 2ls or 4ls.

    I was just looking at a GT750J front, be about $1000 by the time it got here, I gave 2 of them away years ago

    T350/GT380 were also 2LS

    Some of the 550's also had the 4LS but they are overkill.

    Yeah the Suzuki middleweights all had pretty much the same brake.
    The under 250's like the GT125 and 185's had a 6 inch 2ls
    But the T500 was a bit bigger, with a nicer classic hub shape.

    I can understand why he did it for the rear but it seems a lot of work for the front when he could have adapted any wire wheel into it

    I have a complete 2LS front wheel from a Honda SL or CL350 twin that may fit the bill. PM me if you think it'll do the job.

    Yeah but it looks super cool. I like it. And at least you get brakes, my cbx550 had OK(for the time) brakes. They were easy to service despite what moron journalist types write about them.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    No need to look on Ebay

    That'd look good on my BSA
