Hey Guys,
I've heard the horror stories
If you swim right after eating you will drown.
If you swap rear wheels on a GL1200 from different years it will lead to catastrophic failure and you will drown
what it the truth?
the reason I ask is I have a like new rear tire on the back wheel from an 84 or 85 GL1200. The rear tire on my 87 GL1200 Sei needs to be replaced.
Can I just swap the rear wheels with out having to dismount and remount the tire?
any advice here will be most welcome
Thanks Ron
