      Nice find! I read thru it and all i could find was the 83 double tri spoke front is supposed to be 10 pounds 9 oz.. Then below someone says the 83gs double tri spoke weighs 10.9kg.. It looks like the 81 750e has the same snowflake and someone says it weighs 11 lbs.

      I appreciate the help but im still left unsure what the true weight is, i just want to know if the double tri spoke on the 83 gs1100e is lighter then the snowflake on the 82 gs1100e.. Thanks if anyone.

        If you know the weight of the '82, I have an '83 I can weigh for you

          the front rim for an 83 1100E weighs 9lbs 12.6 oz. That is without any wheel bearings installed.
