gs650 gl , gs450A rear wheel swap,is it possible?

[Guest]

i am from Spain, sorry for my bad English, I use an online translator. I have a suzuki gs650gl, I want to ride wire wheels, I thought of riding the rear wheel of a gs450A, is it possible?

I see no reason why it won't work, even though the wheels are a bit narrower.

The 650L wheels are M2.75x16, the 450GA wheels are M2.15x16, so I would limit the rear tire to a 120/90-16.

The assembly that connects the final drive to the wheel is the same part number that is used in all the GS shafties from 450 to 1100.

You will have to get creative to do something to use the rear brake, as the 450GA is a drum, the 650GL is a disk.

otherwise compatible disc rear wheel?

My Google translator can't make any sense of that question.

What I was trying to say was that the wheel might, indeed, fit, and it will certainly mate up with the drive hub, but the wire wheel on the 450GA has drum brakes, the 650L has disk brakes. You will have to find a way to downgrade your 650 to drum brakes, as I don't think it's possible (let alone practical) to adapt the drum brake wheel to accept a disk.

What was your question again?
