Working on the Rear Wheel



Wondering if I can machine off the edge of this rim? I need to take it off so the rim will clear the dust guard on the drive assembly. Just wondering if I did so would it weaken the rim. The other side of the rim does not have this edge.


Looking at the spacing of the rear wheel here in this photo you can see it is not centered. I may have to re-dish the wheel.


Stock Rim
1977 GL1000 Rim

Here are the two wheel centers, the stock one and one off a 1975 GL1000 they do infact have the same drive gear spline. But as you can see from above they do not fit with out the need of modifying them.
