Bought this rim off of Youtube, it was advertised as a 2001 VS 800 front rim, looked really clean so I bought it. Should have looked at the pictures closer because the mounting holes for the front brake rotor dont match whats on a stock rim. Luckily enough the merchant was honest and gave me a complete refund. He also told me to keep the rim. Its the same size as the stock rim but I can't mount a stock brake rotor on it. Really clean otherwise. . . Its definitely a suzuki, has it as a Suzuki on the rim, but no model number.
Anyone know what Rim this bike is for?

Re: Anyone know what Rim this bike is for?
It's off of a 1986/1987 SUZUKI VS700GLF FRONT WHEEL (VS700GLFG/GLPG).
Buy a DISK, FRONT BRAKE
59211-38A00
And 5 bolts, 09106-08049.
Then is should bolt up to your VS800.
Now that I look, it seems the disc is discontinued / unavailable.
Look around, you never know...one might pop up.
See if the seller might have it kicking around
Ahha!! EBC still makes it, EBC Part No MD3031LS.
Don't worry about the left side designation, the 700 caliper was on the left.
Simply turn the wheel around and mount the front tire in the proper rotation.

Ended up buying another rim off ebay for around the same price as that rotor. When the new rim comes in I'll be looking to sell this one cheap if anyone wants to submit me an offer assuming nothings wrong with the new rim I've got coming....
