    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm creating a cafe bike out of a 450S. What wire wheels from previous GS models are a bolt on if any? I'd like to stick with teh 18" front and rear.
Thanks
 
Welcome to the forums!

You won't get 18" front/rear straight bolt on wire wheels from another model.

The front 19" of a T should go straight on, but to get the rear on I believe you need to make sure you get the wheel, sprocket carrier, drum brake, and torsion arm as I think the hub is a different size.

Measure before you do it though to be sure as I haven't actually done it myself and am going on what others have found out along the way...
 
Thanks for the info. maybe I'll just make the stock wheels look better with a little powder coat.
 
That'll certainly do the trick... I painted mine and they didn't turn out too bad, but powder coat is probably the better option.
