    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...

Wheel question for gs1100e swingarm

I?m looking for other wheel alternatives for my gs1100e swingarm on my 79 gs1000. I?ve got a 150 tire but the 17x2.5 inch rim is way too small to mount that. Is there other wheels I can drop in without modifications? If I have to modify what would it be? Would also like to to keep with 17 inch wheel. Thanks
 
If wheel 'spoke' mis match is not an issue, a 1985 or 86 GS 1150 wheel is an easy install. It is 3.5 wide. Suitable for the 150/30 17 tire. Have the wheel on my GS 1100ED. Two modifications: A washer / spacer .200 - .220 or so thick placed outboard of the caliper holder is required as the 1150 hub is a tad narrower than the 1100 hub. Brake caliper stay rod needs to be notched to clear the wider tire. A stay from a Bandit 1200 works well....I have used both.

Awesome thanks a lot! Would the front wheel off of a gs1150 fit in a gs1000 front end?
