Who's a good supplier of pre drilled rims to suit RM twinshock models ( drum brake hubs) ? don't need expensive Excel ones but will take what I can get as long as they are drilled correctly .
I will be using original Suzuki spokes and nipples
-
I use ASW in QLD
-
Have you checked if NOS is available ? I have been surprised with availability and price at times both good and bad.

Bill - SM Pros are good and much cheaper than Excels

Bill, I have SM Pro's on my 500. Seem to be good. Also have torpedo7's on my 125 & 250 2 season's old and they are lasting well.

with SM pro's you have to buy new spokes since the holes in rims are way too big for stock suzuki spokes. I got SM pro front rim for my 79 Rm 125 and to my surprise it was not actually custom drilled. just modified rim that is normaly used on modern bikes. Buchanan in US will actually drill a blank dimpled or non dimpled rims to suit your bike. You can ask them to drill holes(diameter) to suit your spoke nipples. They will charge about $200 per wheel(EXCEL Rim) plus shipping.

I have a set of those on my CZ, thought I may as try them when they cost me $150 delivered. The local wheelbuilder said they may be a little bit softer than others & to keep an eye on the spoke tension
I wouldn't mind trying a set of rims from full circle racing who custom drill their own rims rather than modifying a set of rims from a modern bike
