Do you have a GS 850 G?

[suzukizone]

Hi, need a favor. If any one has a GS 850 G (NOT an L) I need to get the outside diameter of your speedo drive. I keep getting drives with a 62mm outer diam from ebayers but mine is only 55mm. Want to be sure I have the right wheel.
Really appreciate your response.

Thanks,
DH

I just measured my son's '81 850. It's kinda hard to measure while on the bike, but it appears to be 55 mm.
My wife has her '82 850L at work, so I can't compare them for you.

Wheels turning....

OK, let me think.........

Do you mean the thingy on the front wheel that the speedometer cable is connected to? :-D

Thank you for your indulgence,

From my bike I'll second the 55mm and that it's a little tough to measure with the wheel installed. At least that confirms that Steve and I are measuring the same piece.

OK, my wife's L is home now. Not sure it's the original drive because of the installation angle, but it's 55 mm, too. 8-[

Wellt hank you one & all. I am now pretty certain that I have the correct one on my bike & not possessed with a wheel from another model. If only I could find the correct drive now. The search goes on.
Thanks!!!
