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...

GS250 wheels into GS250T

I am thinking is it possible to just slip a GS250 alloy rear into a GS250T as I want to have a bigger wheel in the back. Are the drum shoes interchangeable with either hub? Just looking for an easy and quick way to do this, as it's my daily work bike.

Has anyone tried this? If not will maybe get another GS250T 17" wheel and get it rebuilt into an 18"


Thanks
 
It should be a straight swap, BUT, the brake you have will likely not fit the cast wheel. If you get the wheel and brake it should be easy. The cush drive sprocket carrier will also be different. IOW, you'll need the whole works between the swing arms to be sure.

I'll bet an 18" spoke wheel from a late '70's GS400 would also drop right in, and you can keep the brake etc as the hub 'should' be the same. They made that same basic hub for many sub 500cc bikes in the '70s. Way simpler and cheaper than relacing a 17".

I'm running a '78 400 18" spoke wheel to replace the cast 17" that came with my '82 400T.
 
Great thanks will start looking for gs400 wheel with brake and Cush drive....

To keep the spoke look

thanks
