Anybody got one for sale in good condition? For an 1100.

Lots of options on ebay... depending on the specific style your looking for. Keep in mind that sometimes wheels were used for other models as well.

I'll be pulling one from my other 82 750 today, let me check it out a little closer and send you some photos.

That would be great, I forgot to mention it is for an 1100, not sure if size is different.

Original.

Original.

Yeah... I kinda got that... but in the 81-83 years there was a spoke change for the wheels. Also the same wheel your looking for "original" may have been used on another bike in the same time frame and would be a good option to use as well.

But...



With that informative of an answer I'm sorry I tried to help. I'll excuse myself.

I've got a stock 1100 I'm working on in the shop so I'll compare to see if there are any differences.

Sorry if I've offended you.
To my knowledge all 82 1100 kats had the same wheels.
There are wheels on other bikes which look similar, but it's hard to know till you've the part numbers or the item in your hands.

Thanks, I'm curious myself, for some reason i think they are different sizes. Not sure tho.

Not offended, just felt like I wasted my time in attempting to point out that there are other options for you to find parts you need, yet seemed like it was just dismissed.

For example... one of the stock wheels manufactured in 1982 fits the following 33 machines.... This is for the "X" spoke design.

1978 Suzuki GS1000EC
1978 Suzuki GS550EC
1978 Suzuki GS750EC
1979 Suzuki GS1000EN
1979 Suzuki GS1000LN
1979 Suzuki GS1000SN
1979 Suzuki GS425LN
1979 Suzuki GS550EN
1979 Suzuki GS550LN
1979 Suzuki GS750EN
1979 Suzuki GS750LN
1979 Suzuki GS750N
1980 Suzuki GS1000ET
1980 Suzuki GS1000ST
1980 Suzuki GS1100ET
1980 Suzuki GS1100LT
1980 Suzuki GS450LT
1980 Suzuki GS550ET
1980 Suzuki GS550LT
1980 Suzuki GS550T
1980 Suzuki GS750ET
1980 Suzuki GS750LT
1981 Suzuki GS1100EX
1981 Suzuki GS450TX
1981 Suzuki GS550TX
1981 Suzuki GS750LX
1982 Suzuki GS1000SZ
1982 Suzuki GS1100EZ
1982 Suzuki GS450TZ
1982 Suzuki GS550MZ
1982 Suzuki GS750EZ
1983 Suzuki GS1100ED
1983 Suzuki GS1100ESD

That said, there is also the 6 spoke non crossing design used in that time frame... There are examples out there that suggest this wheel could have also been found on early 80s Kats, and well.. .there wasn't a specific model number with your original request.

Well, I checked the two tonight (my 750 and the customer 1100 - both 82's) and the rims are exactly the same (both spoke style and size). Need to pull a few things out to get some photos, but if you want it, you can have the rim for $50 + shipping (should be $40-45 shipping).
