    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1982 GS850L vs 1982 GS850G Front Wheel

Hi,

Is there any difference between the front wheel of a 1982 GS850L and the front wheel of a 1982 GS850G? They look the same going off pictures, but I looked up the part numbers on some website and they list different part numbers between the two. I am looking for a front wheel for my 1982 GS850L and seen a fairly nice one that is listed for a 1982 GS850G but I hate to buy it to find out it is different. They sure look the same from the picture.

Please forgive me if this has been covered before but I couldn't find the answer searching through old posts.
 
The G wheel is 2.15" wide, presumably so the weight of a fairing can be more easily managed. The GL wheel is 1.85".
 
And evidently the width was increased for the '82 850G. My previous '81 850 and my son's '81 850 both had 1.85 rims on the front.

I switched rims with another member who wanted the older 'snowflake' wheels from the '81 and got his 2.15 rims from an '82 1100G.
