The 1100 has a 17 in. rear, not an 18. The good news is the wheels will interchange although someone with more experience will have to chime in regarding if the spacers are the same.

18x3.5 and 18x2.75 with 150x70 and 110x80 tires...
GS1000C rear hub, GT550 front hub...
Very nice!!!!
3.0 x 18 rear rim with a 140, 2.5 x 18 front rim with a 110. Tire guides say to use a 130 rear, but have used a 140 for years and it is not "over tired". For some reason I could not get the Pirelli's to bead properly. Went with Avon rear, Pirellii front. Turn in is much better. Want to try a 14" rear shock next. Go to http://www.suzuki-katana.com/ for frame bracing ideas. I only used the bracing down by the swing arm and battery area as that is what Yosh used back in the day. Makes a BIG difference. Get as heavy as a spoke as you can find. Keep us posted on your race bike, WERA rules seem more lenient towards 1000 vs. 1100

Hi,
Im currently in the process of sousing all my parts to build a Yoshi replica out of my 1978 GS1000. My question is, what seat do you have in the pic of your bike and where can I get one?
Thanks The Limey

If you are referring to the seat in the last posting it is a Zero seat. On the right bike they look great.
Very rare and i have no idea where to find one.

How about starting a thread about your build.
Oh yeah, welcome to the site.

I'm running a 18" laced up on the front, and fit my GS1000 or GS1100. Im at work at the moment and don't recall the width. Am running a 110-18 Sport Demon. 18" rim helps immensely for turning, doesn't seem to hinder stability at speeds. I had them laced up 35 years ago with big spokes and have only had to true them 1 time. I'll check my rim sizes when I get home. I used GS750 and GS1000 hubs for both of my wheel sets.

Just checked 'em. I'm running rim sizes of 3.00x18 rear and a 2.5x18 front. also have a 2.5x19 front. Cant go bigger than a 140 on the rear and a 110 on the front. Keep in mind, the wider the tire, the slower it will turn in. There have been threads about using 1 inch longer shocks to help turn in and/or raising the fork tubes. The guys from New Zealand are running vintage stuff and have lots of useful knowledge. The seat people were speaking of is an Eikoh. It works well to hold you in place under acceleration, but you can move around more on a modified stock seat.
