Will cb750 wheels work with a shaft gs1100?

I found a cb750 chassis on CL. I was wondering if those wheels would work on a shaft gs1100. I wasn't sure if the part that uses the shaft is connected to the wheel or actually part of the wheel.

Won't work without an awful lot of engineering.

Well thanks for the fast answer. Guess I'll have to pass. I REALLY want some spoke wheels!

Anyone want to trade? I have two sets of stock mag wheels. xs1000 and gs1000gk

Hi,

Spoke wheels for shaft drive bikes are not that common. However, I have a fuzzy recollection that someone mentioned the rear wheel of a certain model of Yamaha Virago might interchange (probably not the drum brake models). I'm sorry I can't be any more specific.

Edit: It seems my memory is fuzzier than I thought. In the next post Mr. steve murdoch advises to research the Suzuki Madura for your donor spokers. My apologies.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Do a search for "Madura and wheels" there is info on the swap.
