    GS550 front wheel on GS850?

    Hello

    I was wondering if it would at all be possible to swap the front wheel from my GS550 on my GS850 now I know there is the whole brake situation one haveing two and all. but is there a way to swap the brakets over to the other wheel? I would just get my hands dirty and do it and try but I have a lot to do so I thought I would ask first.

    The main reason is cause the tire on my 550 is better for the twisties than the one on my 850. and im gunna sell my 550 soon so....

    Thank you
    Jake

    Hi,

    Why not just swap tires?

      A 550 I rebuilt had a single disc but thre were holes on the other side covered by a cap. You could dual the rotors on the rim if need be.
      1981 GS650G , all the bike you need
      1980 GS1000G Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely

          cause thats physically way harder than just swaping a wheel and rotors.
