Coast to Coast
Hi All,
Have been tinkering with my '77 GS550 again and one of the upgrades I'm pondering is to go to a mag-type wheel set.
Have done a bunch of other mods to the bike and thought wider / more modern rims would be neat - I love the look of the old '70's superbikes with Dymags, but those are completely out of my price break LOL.
I'm using the stock front forks, rebuilt and with a Micron fork brace, dual discs as I got the correct fork lower with lugs so I can do it, may put on the alloy GS1100 swingarm I have in the store room if I get the time and motivation.
Not interested in doing any fork conversions - trying to keep the classic '70's look
Don't have strong feelings regarding rim size, widths, etc, just wondering what the other folks have done, how hard it was, etc,etc, etc.
Thanks,
Pat
