Isaac_62 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 Guys, Got a set of rims from a friend for free ... only problem is the wheels come from a suzuki and the hole pattern doesnt match... I want to drill new holes in them (there is plenty of room) to fit the shee... I have a few ideas about how to do it but i dont know if they are precise enough... I know someone has done this.. just wondering how and whats the most accurate way... I dont really have acess to a mill or lathe so thats out of the ?.... All help is appreciated... Thanks Quote

TexasBansheeMan Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 We used the Dust covers from the front wheels. Worked great! Quote
kawa110 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 take your hub off and ink or gread the ends of the studs then press it on the rims were you want your new holes when you take the hub off the rim it will leave the ink or grease were you need to make the new holes. I did this a few years back. i just drilled the holes out. they went right on and seemed to work fine. Quote
Isaac_62 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Posted June 3, 2009 Does the front rims have the same bolt pattern as the rear??? Quote
rubberneck Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Does the front rims have the same bolt pattern as the rear??? Earlier bikes yes, i think 87 88 89 maybe, both were 4 on 156, later bikes, front stayed 4 on 156, rear went to 4 on 115mm Quote
Isaac_62 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 I still havent transfered these yet... Im still trying to figure out the best way to ensure the wheel rotates on center... U guys think cardboard transfer is the best way??? Quote
