650l rear wheel on 850

[Guest]

Wanting to put rear 16 inch wheel from 82650l on my 80 850. Everything matches up fine except of course the brake rotors are different, one from 850 has center piece with bolt holes in center area and it stands out from the wheel more than the 650 rotor which is flat and no center piece. I'm thinking if I use the wheel spacers from the 650 instead of the ones on 850 I should be able to line caliper up properly with rotor. Is my thinking correct? Plan on trying it to make sure, but just thought I'd ask before I waste too much time and effort. terrylee

Sorry, Terry, just now saw this.

Yes, try the spacers first. I had to do that when I put an 1100 wheel on an 850.

Had to get a bit creative and use some washers, as the stock spacers were not quite right, but everything else worked just fine.

Thanks Steve, I thought it would work and large washer if needed is a good idea. By the way sent you email with pics and mess. about covers. terrylee

If it won't work the GS1100GK came with a 16" rear wheel
