thinking ahead for a possible caferace project ,what wheels are a simple swap for the buffalo , i asume gs wheels from the same era are going to fit but what about sv 650 , i think the three spoke would llok cool.
any sugestions would be appreciated.

i have gs wheels on my 550. i wanted them so i could go tubeless and have one less thing to worry about, but the wheel is quite a bit heavier than spokes. between the dual disc anchors and the wheel there's little chance of a roll on wheelie. i wouldn't recommend them for a sport oriented setup. the front is bolt on. either rear requires mods.
