Wheel swap question - GS1000

[Guest]

Forum experts,
I'm starting to rebuild the front end of my beloved 1978 GS1000E after crashing it. I bent the forks (duly replaced via eBay) but turns out I also bent the rim. I need to source another one.

I actually have access to an 81 GS 750L parts bike, which also uses a 19" rim. Does anyone know, can I swap this wheel directly across, to replace the bent rim?

Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Front wheel for the 1000E is part number 54111-49350-291.

Front wheel for the 750L is part number 54111-49301-291.

They are both 1.85 x 19. I am guessing that the difference is that the 750 wheel might be certified for tubeless tires.

That's great news, Steve. I'm relieved I won't have to purchase a new wheel. Thanks for letting me know.
