okay I have just picked up my first suzuki project and a couple things are giving me fits!!!! the gas tank is shot and this seems to be a rare model,hard to find a replacement tank. also the rear tire is an oddball size. it had a 120 90 17 it was a cheng shin marquis. the suppliers of this size tire are few and far between. also it was the most difficult tire i have ever removed from a wheel! Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows of an 18 inch cast wheel from another model that would fit? much easier to find tires in that size!!! thanks, johnny

It's possible the rear from the E and L models would be a bolt on but I'm definitely not sure on that. The E is 18" but not sure about the L, might be 17"...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

Avon, Bridestone and IRC all sell 120/90-17 tires.
I found these links use a Google Search.

The factory sticker on my 450T says the standard size tire is 110 90 17 and that's what I have mounted on it. Not sure if that would be easier for you to find our easier mounting but thought I would toss it out there

Use a 110/90-17 tire, which is recommended from the factory. Do not use a 120 as that is too wide and will pinch, which will result in less contact with the road.
I hear that Avon Road Riders are very good tires.
