I'm thinking of installing a spoked wheel on the front of my '79 GS850G.
Do you think it would look good or just plain wrong?

Without spokes on the rear, I'm wondering why. I think it will look odd. Find a Madura wire wheel set. or http://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-SUZUKI-...pV6BTb&vxp=mtrOriginally posted by BC_Rob View Post

Spoked wheels are awesome in my opinion. It won't match the rear wheel but you don't really notice the rear wheel anyway. It takes a little longer to clean them. They're lighter than the mag wheel. I say go for it!👍
Here's my front wheel.My Motorcycles:
22 Kawasaki Z900 RS (Candy Tone Blue)
22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
79 1000e (all original)
82 850g (all original)
80 KZ 650F (needs restored)Comment

Your wheel looks great!
I remember a few Harley models were sold with a spoke front and mag rear. I thought they looked pretty good... for Harleys.

That is decent advice for bikes with chains, but the choice for shafties is severely limited. One of the attractive things about a shaft-driven bikes is the reduced maintenance. I have enjoyed a lack of spokes on my bikes since 1977, so it baffles me that anyone would want to introduce something that requires MORE maintenance to a low-maintenance bike.Originally posted by sharpy View PostComment
