    widened wheel for 82 1100e?

    I am shocked at how hard it is to find an already widened rear for any bike. Am I just looking in the wrong place (earth)? I had a lot of friends who had them done then parted or upgraded them away. $425+ to Kosman is a little too much hide from the wife. HELP

    Find a replacement from another bike. I was amazed to find out a GS1150 rear would bolt right up to my 750. I switched over back in the mid 80's. Went from 2.5 to 3.5in rear and 140 tire. Everything bolted right up-used 750 parts and caliper.

    Heck, for $450 you could put an entire GSXR front on that thing

    Good Luck, Ed.

      You can use GSX-R or GSX-F wheels, lots of info on www.oldskoolsuzuki.info, Aircooled section.

        Thanks for the options guys but I have convinced myself that one is out there waiting for me to claim it. I love the stock look except for the rear. The 3.5" rear from the 1150 is not quite wide enough. My FJ1100 has a 3.5 and I keep wishing it was 4.5. Maybe she will believe someone broke into my garage and stole the wheel...
