GS550 spokes/mag question
I have a 77 GS550 with the spoke wheels (disc front/drum rear) and was wondering if the mag wheels from a GS550L model would fit without any modifications. Wanted to roll with black wheels but painting spokes is probably not a good idea and I can get the mag wheels from an L model for pretty cheap and paint it. Anyone try this? My bike below.

The rear wheel will be a different size, but will probably fit OK.
Did the L have a disk or drum brake on the rear? If it was a disk, it will be a harder swap.
You might need to adjust some spacers on either side of the rear wheel.

Hmmm...would prefer to stick with drums in back as that would simplify the install...will look into a set for a 83 L model...thx!
