Wheels

[PAB]

I'm really sorry for being a pain but I'm sruggling to put my shopping list together. My main problem is wheels as Ive said in a prevoius thread I would like to change my wheels
to 18" rear . The problem I have is that the only 18" rear wheels on ebay are for disk not drum. I could do with a model and year that I can search for.


These would work aswell 17" rear and 18" front.




Thanks in advance

Paul

Back in the day I swapped a rear wheel from my 1979 GS425L to my 81 GS450L in order to go from 16" to 18". Try searching for 425L wheels.

Just checked EBay uk and there’s none for sale
I think I’m going to have to put up with what I have

You can also try 1980 - 1982 GS450E GS450S

No luck but I think the GS400 is a uk bike and might fit or this [FONT=&quot]Suzuki GS850 GS 850 1975 Rear Back Wheel 17x2.50[/FONT]

... or this Suzuki GS850 GS 850 1975 Rear Back Wheel 17x2.50

Finding ANYTHING for a 1975 GS850 is going to result in a gold mine. :-k

The first 850s were assembled in '78 for the '79 model year.

You will also have trouble using an 850 wheel of any year. The hub is different on shaft-driven bikes.

There's some GS400 on Ebay Uk. Anyone know if these will fit. They're both 18" and would give the bike the look I'm after

Gsx250e & x7 rear wheels are 18" & same as gs450e, all should be a straight swap, not sure about mudguard clearance thou

Mudguard not being fitted so all is good

There's loads of gsx 250 wheels on English eBay, they are what you are after, I wouldn't get a wheel of a bigger bike than yours cos it'll have a bigger dia axle, yours should be 15 mm

Ive bought front and rear Gs400 wheels off EBay so should be ok I think on one of the pictures of the wheels it does say gs250 both are 18”
