Can you put wire spoke wheels on an 83

I want to put wire spoke wheels on my 83 but I don't know if you can use the parts off the hub of a 77 to match up. Anyone know anything?

I think I've read in the past that the 1000 rear drive is different.

Im wondering if switching out the wheel hub is possible.

Is their any part of the earlier model back wheel hub that can be switched out to make it match up with the 83 final drive?

You will need to machine a new hub to match the 83 to accept spokes

I found a company that sells them. I wanted to know if i had other options before I went that route. Thanks for the Reply!

Well there you go.
As I stated before there are posts that what you were looking for were not possible without a custom hub.
