Wheel Interchangeability between 79 and 80 850

[Anonymous]

I searched for this, but did not find the answer I was looking for in past threads. I have a '79 850 and found a good deal on some wheels from a '80 850. Will the wheels and rotors from a '80 850 fit a '79 850?

I know Suzuki made a bunch of changes for the '80 model year, but did they change anything with the wheels other than going to a slotted rotor?

The major changes in 1980 were updating to a TSCC Engine and CV Carbs. The wheel size should be the same as I don't believe that anything was done to the frame or brake systems. The only difference would be later wheels would be mag wheels and older ones are spoked.

850's never came with tscc engines.

they did come with cv carbs in 80.

no 850 came with spoked wheels.

79 and 80 gs850 wheels are interchangeable, only difference being a solid disc in 79 and a slotted one in 80, but you know that already...

you can fit a 79 wheel to an 80 bike and the other way around.

Thanks. Given the condition of the wheels on this bike, I will probably go ahead and purchase the '80 wheels.
