I scored a junk rear wheel from 1987 Virago, which uses the same part. It ran me $25, complete with a dry rotted tire (Ebay, local). I am on the road again! Gonna lube it this time!

Hi Mr. bigsmellyfred,
Score!
That looks like the darker metal, which should be the harder alloy. Don't forget to pick up some Moly 60 Paste (60% molybdenum disulfide grease) or similar.
Nice work. Your knees will be back in the breeze in no time!
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

All i know is that virago's are better as parts bikes than whole bikes

Heh, heh, heh... :twistedevil:
It would be really wild if the Yamaha part fit our Suzukis. But good to know. But I doubt it.

That would be great. I'm parting an 82 Yammy Virago 750 on Ebay.

Doner was a 1987 INTRUDER VS800.

I must have had Yamaha "on the brain" yesterday!

We hate unsolved mysteries here...
But it's a good point -- most later Suzuki shafties use the exact same spline adaptor, and it was updated to a harder, much more durable part sometime in the late '80s, and is in production to this day.
There's no need to insist on a 79-80 black GS spline when there are probably a lot more 86+ Intruder, Marauder, C50, and M50 parts running around. The newer spline unit is silver, although sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between that and the gold-colored "soft" splines, especially when it's dirty.
The larger Suzuki/Boulevard cruisers nowadays use a different part, but all the 700, 750, and 800cc v-twins used the updated spline.
