1981 GS1000G wheels front and back fit 1984 GS1100G

[clancey g]

looking at buying a set to put new tires on (they on eBay), will these be the same and fit my bike, my front rim has fair few marks and previous owner had put anti flat fluid in there making a mess and a slow leak in front. spare set with new tires would be worth while I'm thinking, thanks clancey, getting there slowly, few more small jobs to do.

Not Sure

hi,

I am no guru, and for sure one the real gurus will answer in due course, but I think your right to be cautious.

I looked up the part numbers for rears and there possibly slightly different in some unkown way;
gs1000g(81) 64100-45810-12U
gs1100g (83) 64100-49810-291

I assumed the wheels were all the same, when I brought a rear for my car tyre project. (outfit) turns out the wheel I got from another model had a 1/2 inch different width in the hub, fits the drive fine, but is off set.

If it does pan out for you, do you want to sell your old 1100 rear wheel?
(I dont care what the rims like I just want to cut the hub out)

Hey Clancey, totally off topic but I knew there was another Brissie member I missed! We had a big run Sunday week ago with all the GSR members around South East Qld and went from Archerfield to Landsborough the long way, so sorry I missed you out on the invite.

Keep an eye out in the GS Meeting Place forum for next time if you're keen as it was a good success and I reckon we'll be doing another one in a few months...

Here's the thread from the other day:

I'm pretty sure the wheel will interchange. Some of the early wheels were tube type, some tubeless so look close. The later front was a little wider too.

They'll swap... With some work. Your gonna want the rear sPacers and rotor from the 1100G. They're not the same. The later shaft rotors were some sort of semi-floater type that had no webbing and mounted directly to the hub...

Also not sure but the 81 has a 17" rear and I believe the 84 has a 16" better check for sure though

small late update, thanks again every one. I got them they need a clean up and look narrower on front possibly, then i can read numbers on rims. The gent that had them is a member here , small world , he was brilliant very helpful. Also john82q the back wheel i picked up you may have to play with if you want, im in sunnybank hills, cheers clancey

Clancey,

Short of it is I will give you a ring tomorrow, about having a look see at the wheel on the weekend.

Cheers John
