GS550 front end conversion

The MK2 has slightly wider yokes then the MK1.

So you may find just getting a MK2 wheel will not help.

Yes the mk1 front wheel  wheel catches on the nk2  forks. Its OK without the speedo drive.but then there's a large gap and no speedo drive. Looking around a mk 2 wheel is cheaper than M1 forks so I'll try that the the nk2 wheel have a different speedo drive.. This bike cost wise is getting out of control. 

Thanks 

the mk2 uses a speed sensor on the front sprocket cover as the clocks are electronic,  but the mk2 wheel has the cut out notches so you can use a mk1 speedo drive
