    GS750ES Rear Wheel Swap

    I'm embarking on a rear wheel swap on my 1983 GS750ES. I have read some of the topics posted herein. I'm keeping an eye out for a 17x4.5 GSXR or Katana rear wheel. Has anyone used or know if a Kawasaki ZX rear wheel will work? These seem to be more plentiful.

    I have a 3.5" GSXR or Katana wheel on my 84 GS750. These rims are much cheaper and accept a 150 MEZ4 tire. Works great.

      What profile are you running on that 150?

        It is a 150/70 ZR 17. According to Metzeler, it is a proper size tire for that rim.

          Suzuki equipped both the 3.5" and 4.5" rear wheeled 750 Katana's with the same tire- the 150/70 mentioned. A 150 seems borderline too wide for a 3.5" rim though, I wonder if you are able to get full use of the corner tread. A 140 does work real nice on the 3.5" rim as I have run this setup for many years. Good luck, Ed.
