E rim on L model
I'm putting an 82 GS1100E rear rim on my 80 1100L. (Came with a front rim and has a brand new tire.) The E has a 17" tire and the L has a 16". The E has a 42 tooth sprocket and the L has a 40 tooth. The 42 tooth I have is garbage and the 40 tooth is good. Any suggestions on which one I should use? (I'll buy a new one if need be) Also I don't have the spacer that runs on the sprocket bearings and wheel bearings for the E rim. Are the E and L spacer the same?

I checked between the 2 models on Bike Bandit and they look to have the same PN#s.
Hope that help some.Doug aka crag antler

It's called a bearing retainer.Comment

I found the bearing retainer inside the sprocket cushion
So back to the sprocket question.

I put the 40 tooth sprocket on the 17" rim and put it on my bike. The sprocket lines up but the rotor looks a little right of center of the caliper but it works. There is some extra space on the nut side of the axle between the caliper spacer and swingarm. Can I fill this space with washers? Am I in danger of pushing the inner caliper piston out?Comment

Got the rim to work. Went for a long ride through the Sierre Nevadas and all is well. Used my stock 40 tooth sprocket and got 44 mph. Didn't like the drag on the clutch to get it going and slower off the line. Going to order a 42 tooth sprocket. But sure enjoyed the gas mileage. (I averaged 30 mph with stock 16" rim and 40 tooth sprocket) Thanks RJ for the new tire and rim!Comment

That is what I did and it worked out great.
