spoke wheels for 79 gs1000

[jed.only]

ive searched around a bit, and found a neat chart outlining the wheels that are the same axle size as the GS front wheel, but no rear. ive also read a few places that dirtbike spokes can be used.


i have alloy wheels on my bike and want to get spokes.

what else will work? any other makes (ie yamaha or honda)? i gather most wheels off of suzuki's from around the same year will work.


before anyone asks, im backhalfing the bike, so the swing arm is going away, and a custom rear suspenion will be built. i just want to not have a hard time lining up the front and rear sprockets, and prefer a straight swap rather than a custom approach, but all ideas are welcome.

thanks in advance.

I want spokes on mine too man. Black powdercoated rims and hubs with chrome spokes and dual discs- OMFG.

I posted a thread about this a while back. Search around for it, had some good info.
