    82 GS850GLZ 16" wheel to 17" wheel

    I was looking at replacing my rear wheel and going from a 16" wheel to a 17" wheel. The reasons are two fold. First I was going to replace the weak 81.5-83 model gold drive spline with one from an earler 79-81 black spline. At the same time I thought that a 17" wheel would lower my cruising RPMs a little.

    Here is my question:

    What year/model bikes other then the 850's used the black splines and had a 17" wheel that would be a direct bolt on? I know that all the GS850G models used the 17" wheel and so did some of the 1980 GL's.

    1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)
