Old riding buddy gave me this.

A long time riding buddy was a big GS fan, Had a 550, a few 850 projects and a 1000. He worked in the auto paint business and had the 550 and 1000 done up like Wes Cooley reps. We kinda drifted apart because he started a new job that had him on the road but we text from time to time. He had quit riding a couple of years ago and this week he text with a pic of the 550 and said come get it or find someone that wanted it. Now i had worked on, tuned and ridden this bike many times so it had to stay in the family. I had one back in the day and loved it. SO here it is, sitting since 2010. Tank is questionable and i haven't looked at the carbs yet. Came with a 4 inti 1 Kerker pipe and we had done Fox shocks, Progressive fork springs, fork brace, Superbike front fender and braided brake lines. Let the fun began.

And we thought Christmas was over 3 months ago, gues we were wrong... I started to answer your other post, but wasn't sure about the GS550's. the L wheel is a cast, your bike has a spoke. Just say'in on GS1000's & GS1100's to swap a rear spoke wheel to a rear cast wheel, one of the spacers, thinking the one on the brake side, has got to be for the wheel it was made for... Welcome to The GSR and good luck.

This is my second time on here. I want to use the L wheel IF i do a bar hopper bobber so 2 different wheels will be fine. Kinda depends on how the tank turns out. I wont be paying Ebay prices so it might end up that route.

Not matter what bike is used for, the cast wheel needs the spacer for the cast wheel... A thought that don't matter, your picture looks waaay too good to be butchered, You can make a bobber out of anything you find in any an old shed, fence row, or leaning against a tree out back. Just say'in, you do know you can line the gas tanks to take care of rust inside.
