    Rims?

    Was wondering, Did any 1978 GS750's come stock with spoked aluminum wheels?
    I have one that has these,Chain driven, Both are 18'' F/R, both are disc brake. Don't know the width's off hand. I believe they are stamped/made buy Tukasago don't remember for sure. Just curious. All the GS' I have seen around or owned had steel rims if not the mags.

      I'm not certain, but I don't think those are stock wheels for a 78 750. I'm not aware of any with aluminum rims, and I'm pretty sure that they all had a 19 inch front wheel and an 18 inch rear with steel rims.

        Only the 1000s had the aluminum rims, in 18" rear and 19" front

        So those are some non standard, and nice , rims

          I didn't think they were stock but wasn't sure.
          I checked the above Link(Thank You) and there was no mention of these rims on the site.
          The bike was set up to race somewhere in its life. Shame I aquired it with a siezed engine. PO left it to the weather with the spark plugs out, Fool!!
          The front wheel/Fork only has one disc, but the hub is drilled and tapped to accept 2.
          Am thinking about using them on my '80 GS1100ET, kinda like the look of them. I wish the fuel tank would slip on my frame but NO.
          The bike appears to have a slitely different rear master cyl. as well, plus it has a Heat sinked alum. barrel plumbed into the line at the caliper end for cooling. probly swap that over to, along with the mini tach. and speedo.

          Well thanks for the responses.
