silver spline question

[buckeyemike]

so I am looking for a replacement rear wheel spline for my 850 and came across one that is bright silver and I thought I saw a post about the newer ones I think 85ish to 2001? silver in color splines were made of the harder material. Anyone have any experience or knows this is true and know a part number in case I can check the possible candidate I have found.

Black or SILVER are good. Gold, like yours, is bad. MMMMkayyy?

The silver hub from my '82 GS850G. The studs are gold anodized, but the hub sure isn't.
stick with the black hub/spline, or a later hub that is known to be harder.





poligrip anyone?

Black is the original, 82/prior.
Gold is 82 for a couple years, (till 84?).
Silver is after that, and the present ones that you will get if you order one (even if you order by the older part number, will get the newer part number). Are about $110 from some places, a little higher from other places.
