1982 suzuki RM250 Rear wheel

[johnnymoto]

Can someone tell me where or who can help me find the correct rear rim for a 82 RM250? The one on the bike is cracked. It is a stock rim 2.15 X18. I checked Bike Bandit,ect and most places just go back to 1986. I didn't know if a later model rim had different spoke angles coming out of the rim. Thanks

I know if you send an oddball spoke to Buchanan's they will makes you a set up, maybe they can help you with the rim question

I bet this dude can help you. He deserves a lot of attention as he helps out our local racing scene despite being many many miles from most of the tracks.

Thanks -jsantapau- we're going with Buchanan's. We're calling Monday to order the rim. They are probably alittle pricey but you do get what you pay for in quality. Thanks again and thanks to Dirt rider.net for the space. When you may be the only vintage guy in a 200 square mile area it is good to know you can get help anytime here.
