HELP... Spoke Wheels on 1979 Suzuki GS425EN
conghos:
Hi guys, I would like to change my mag wheels on the 1979 Suzuki GS425EN. Thereīs a model of GS425(N) that come with spoke wheels, however I can find them anywhere. I think tha GS400 spoke wheels are compatible. There is any other Suzuki motorcycle with compatible spoke wheels? Any advice? Help is appreciated. Regards, Carlos.
Big Rich:
Find the part #'s and try to cross reference as much as you can.........
You may be able to find spoke wheels from an early GS450 "T" to fit, or maybe even the rear wheel from a GT550 or GT750.

Thank you for the advice, looking for GT series too! :)

Let me know how your progress goes as I am looking into doing the same mods to my bike.

Sorry for the delay... too busy to reply! I was doing some research as Big Rich told me. And yes, they are compatibility with other Suzuki models. I guess the most important think to consider are the hubs. FYI: Iīm in Argentina, zero parts to find, only from 1979 to 1982 they import motorcycles and closed again for about 10 years, nowadays with the goverment policies is a pain in the a** to import new or used parts, however everything is possible. So, if i bought something in the US I cannot make a mistake with the part number.
I found http://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gs425-e-1979-usa_model16012/partslist/ (as many others) intresting because you can find a part and compare with another motorcyle or do a global search with the part number. Attached are two text files with hub models (front & rear) and the ones that they used the same. As far as I can imagine, having the correct hub, itīs easy to find a rim and spokes to complete the wheel and using the disk, drum and all that stuff of the mag wheel.
A month ago I found this offer. I contact the seller but he has no idea if they were compatible. After all the research I did, I guess they are OK.
