I'm a new owner of an '82 GL1100 Standard. It needs a little work and I'm getting there. But I have a good set of 11 spoke '83 wheels I was going to put on. So I thought I's put in new bearings while I'm at it. When I went to order the bearings, I found out the '82 and '83 bearings are different. Now I'm concerned about what else is different. Axles, rotors, caliper spacing.....????
Guys, should I just sell the '83 wheels or can I use them without a lot of pain? My skill set is such thatI can handle brake jobs and the like, but I am not sure I want to tackle fork changes, swing arms and drives, etc..... just to change wheels.
Thanks
