Picked up an 85 GSX-r 750 rear wheel for my 80 GS1100E. 85-87 were identical but this one has an 85 code on it.
original was 17x2.5 and the GSX-r is 18X3.5. I can already tell the brake disk is going to be a problem as the GSX-r disk is 8 11/16" vs the original GS 10 13/16" brake disk.
I also picked up a later 1100E wheel for the front as it has a very similar spoke pattern to the GSX-r rear but all dimensions are the same as my 1980 front wheel.
Question is..... Has any one done this before? Any advice would be very helpful to get me started. EX: spacers, disk solutions, chain conversion, offset front sprocket,,,, and so on.
My goal is to keep things looking stock so I may try to save the chain guard. I'd very much like to keep the swing arm and front sprocket cover.
