Title: Re: Different Wheels? Post by Drifter on 07/25/10 at 11:14:43 Looks like gsxr wheels on the first one and early 80s Suzuki wheels on the other 2. What is involved in doing the swap spacers and shims or machine work? Will the disk bolt up to the 80s wheels? |

Title: Re: Different Wheels? Post by verslagen1 on 07/25/10 at 22:49:26 mine was a direct swap on the wheels and spacers. the disk needs to be spaced out and cut down. or swap the whole front end the front is a gs650 and the rear is a gs550. soon to swap the gs650 forks and trees. the tree mates just fine, but you have to do something with the steering lock or it will hit the tank. |

Title: Re: Different Wheels? Post by Drifter on 07/26/10 at 06:44:54 Forgot to ask, what is the weight difference in the cast vs spoked wheels. The older i get the less i like cleaning spokes!!! |

Title: Re: Different Wheels? Post by BurnPgh on 07/26/10 at 07:22:56 you sure the rear isnt from a gs550? I tried the 450 route and it was far far too narrow to be a simple drop in and it was also not (officially) rated to run tubeless. |

Title: Re: Different Wheels? Post by Drifter on 07/27/10 at 14:00:09 Did you happen to weigh the wheels both the spokes and the cast ones? |
