GS1100 Wheels interchangeable?

[Anonymous]

Curious if anyone is familiar whether wheels from an 83 GS 1100 would work/fit on an 82? Even further, are 83 GS 850 wheels the same as GS 1100 of the same year?
Thanks,

Ruppert, I don't know about the E model wheels interchanging with the GS850G wheels. Obviously the rear won't interchange between a chain-drive E model and a shaftie GS850G. The front probably will.

I can tell you this: the wheels from a 1982 and 1983 GS850G, the standard model with 17-inch rear, will interchange perfectly with the wheels from a shaftie 1982 or 1983 GS1100G. The L models, both with 16-inch rear wheels, will interchange also.

Thanks, Nick, I wasn't aware that the GS 850 was shaft only.
