Do you know if these wheels are specific only to the Suzuki GS? They resemble the stock Enkei wheels from the early 80's KZ1000. I really like the look of the KZ wheels and would like to do a swap, but cannot find any information as to if that is possible.

I was just thinking if your wheels would fit both the KZ and the GS bikes, then possibly stock KZ wheel of the same years would fit my '78 GS750E as well?

Thanks.

Pretty sure these Morris wheels only work on GS's :pray:. . . so far the stock GS rotors line up, the GS cush hub rubber slips fit and the cush hub slides right in. No idea if they fit a KZ1000 or if the stock KZ wheels fit a GS and vice versa, maybe try the Search? I recall seeing GS Enkei star rims on a 81 GPZ550 but anything can be made to fit if you know what I mean

I agree, looks exactly like a KZ440.
These are little wider than GS star rims

Thanks for the complement Ray, I would have powder coated them but funds are what they are. Now I can say they look that way because I refinished them by hand

Cowboyup3371 yes I painted both sides of all the brake discs and finally installed the rear wheel today.

The GS1000S fairing & mirrors are not installed at the moment but I like the contrast.

Looks fantastic. Wheels turned out great!

Love the slight hot rod look it has with the metallic paint. Very nice swingarm too! :)
 
This is one of the nicest, most tastefully modifed GS's I've seen.

Inspiring! :clap:

I agree wholeheartedly. When I read the beginning of this post, I was going to suggest painting the recessed areas the same shade of blue as the tank. The idea was based upon having done the same with the rims on an "S" I repainted several yrs ago while living in CA. Someday, I'll find and post pics of that bike.
Now that I've seen what the finished product looks like, I think the black looks great! Congratulations on a beautiful looking bike!
