    Wheel swap gs850 yo gs1000

    Hey guys I'm trying to find out if i can run gs850 shaft drive wheels on a 78 gs1000.

    Can I take the shaftdriven parts off the 850 wheel and put my 1000 sprocket setup on it?

    Thanks!

          There are millions of them out there. Look here in the parts section or eBay. $50-100 + shipping all day long. If you go with early model 750E and you get an 18" rear.
