    Wheel swap?

    Could anyone tell me what factory wheels swap over to a 77 GS750? I have the spokes, but they have seen better days and I was thinking about going with a tubeless wheel and tire combo. Is anything from a mid to late 80s Suzuki a direct bolt on swap?

    you can pretty much fit any wheels you want, within reason. suzuki,yamaha or whatever.
    as long as they physically fit in the space you have,(width,diameter etc.) then it is possible.
    a lot of suzuki wheels are almost straight swaps but you may need different size spacers or bearings or axle diameters to make them all fit properly.
    GSXR wheels are a favourite swap and as far i know most GS model wheels are interchangeable with a few minor bits and pieces swapped about.
    you will also have to consider the brakes as well, rotor sizes,offsets etc and caliper mountings but usually they are straight forward and most members here have been involved with wheel swapping in some form or other.

    dont try fitting a shafty rear wheel though, that gets a bit more complicated!
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      Hey where are you at? I'm on Longwood Hills Road in the Capone house(AKA big blue house on the hill). I'm doing a swap with another member Sat. I have another set of mags I might be willing to swap you, if they are not to bad a shape. Send me a PM. If you come by today you can't miss me, just look for a bunch of Suzies in the drive way. I'm trying to straighten up my garage it's a mess.

        Oh wow I drive by your house just about every day. I just happened to see your bikes outside the other day and made a mental note of it since I now have one. I live right on Tollgate trail just down the road. I'll definitely have to make some time to stop by.

          If the garage door is up I'm usually at home.
