Hi.fitting cast wheels on my 1100GS abs
Rear wheel was a doddle, fitted right in used the original bolts no problem,5 inch cast wheel 170 tyre no rubbing,got a 160 now.Wheel was listed as r1150rt,rs,850r and rockstar
Front wheel same fitment as rear.
no abs ring ,but i'm deleting that.
Discs fitted straight on
Speedo drive, ah! wait a minute,shit it nearly fits but doesn't(i've read the thread and expected it) wrong ratio for speedo obviously 19 Vs 17
and as spotted by others speedo drive is a bit narrower on the GS and i need one from a R850RT,R1150r,RT
when i tighten the spindle the wheel binds,bummer!
speedo drive duly ordered.
(was going to insert pixs but think i'll have read up on that,it's not like other sites i use.
