    Wheels and Tyres

    Any one out there know the answer to this question? I have a pair of spoked wheels from a GS750. Front 19" rear 18" disc brakes on both wheels. Will they fit the G.S.550 & G.S.650 models as well as long as they have discs front and rear. I know early 550s had a drum on rear. Your help would be greatly received.
    Thanks Kev

    The 19" front wheel will fit a GS550 with no problems. The 550 and 750 front wheels are, for all practical purposes, identical. They use the same spacers, bearings, etc..

    At the rear, you'll have to find a way to adapt the 750's wheel (which used a 20mm rear axle) to the 550 (which uses a 17mm axle).

    Installing smaller bearings and/or modified/re-engineered inner spacers is the way to go.
