I am looking to replace the rims on my 1981 GS850G, there is a local used parts dealer that has a set of rims off of a 1982 GS850G, are the rims for both years the same, or do I need to find a set from an 81?

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.

they should fit just fine, i THINK
they are a slightly different design though
and the disc is mounted differently
and the axle comes through from the other side
best take yours off and compare
ps. nessism. my 1980 rear rim is tubeless, i wonder if that means it was replaced at some stage

What is the problem with the rims on your 81 850G? The rims off of the 82 will be a different design but should fit your bike.

Other than cosmetics there are no functional problems with my rims, just happened that the best place locally for used parts that I know has rims off of an 82 that are in mint shape for cheap :-D.
