    wheel for 400GS

    Hello

    I have find 2 wheel for GS550 1978

    Do you think it"s good for GS400 1977


    : Confused:

    The front wheel could probably be swapped with no issues. The rear wheel might cause some headaches depending on how similar they are. And you would probably need every part from the GS550 rear wheel (sprocket carrier, brake assembly, etc) to make it work.

    Where are you located, and why are you looking for new wheels?

      Hi Max,
      Welcome to the forum! And I LOVE your GS!

      I posted a similar response in your first thread, I have some spoke wheels, I'm checking the part numbers and I'll get back to you with what they are. If they are the correct size, we'll figure a way to get them to you.

      Were you looking for a drum brake front or a disk brake front?

        1977 GS 400B (or 400-X)?

        So I'm checking the Babbit's OEM web site and find 2 GS400s;
        1. GS 400B - single front disk brake model
        2. GS 400-X (or XB) - front drum brake model.

        At Babbits, both rims are available! Front spokes are available! (No rear spoke set). Hubs are sadly, not available either....

        Shop our large selection of Suzuki 1977 Motorcycle OEM Parts, original equipment manufacturer parts and more online or call at (231)737-4542


        still need to dig through the garage....

          : Confused:
          77 GS 400 (disk brake)
          Front rim: 1.6 x 18 (part number 55311-18420)
          RIM REAR B,XB; 1.858x18 (part number 65311-11220)

          78 GS 550
          Front RIM B,C,N; 1.85x19 (part number 55311-34020)
          RIM B,C,N; 2.15x18 (part number 65311-15021)

          Doesn't look like these are exact matches......

              Ah, ok. Are you looking for mag wheels or ones with spokes?

              If it's any help, rear wheels from any GS450 will work.

              Edit: I see you have mag wheels, so you want to look for spoke wheels. I believe most Gs bikes came with 19" front wheels, except for the parallel twins (GS400, GS425, and GS450E & GS450S). The center hub on the front of most Gs bikes are the same, the rear hub is hard to find. I know that the GS400 rear hub will work if you can find one.
