Hi, I'm planning to buy a 1980 Suzuki GS850G, this model is the G the on that uses drive shaft. I don't like the stock wheels that much. Can I change to classic spoked wheels?....the reason I ask it's because this weird shaft instead of chain make me doubt.

Thanks
JC
 
Hate to sound crude, but if you don't like the wheels or the shaft drive, why get the 850?

All 850s are shaft-driven, and there are no spoked wheels that can be fitted to any of our shafties without some serious modification.

I know the spokes/cast thing is subjective preference, but I will just say that the cast wheels that come on the bike are virtually maintenance-free, so you don't need to worry about them, EVER.

The 1982+ 850/1100G wheels will fit on the early shaft drive bikes. They are slightly different but maybe not enough to matter.

There was a different thread here recently on this exact topic, inside someone said that Suzuki Maurder bike guys are installing GS wheels to replace their spoke wheel originals. Since they are able to do this than maybe you could go back the other way?
