The front wheel on my 1100 is powder coated and doesn't look right! I have bought a 1100ET front wheel which has the same spoke pattern but the the hubs centre looks different
1100S Centre (left hand side is different from the right)

1100ET Centre

Anyone know why this is, both are the same manufacturer - Enkei and size 19 x 1.85?

Re: Front Wheel Differences: 1100S vs ET
Some american market GS and gsx models came with a single front disk. Possible your et wheel came from one of these? Is it the snowflake spoke pattern? If you wanted one, you should have asked, I've a pile of them, I'm planning to use them as a trellis for my climbers!

Re: Front Wheel Differences: 1100S vs ET
It could even be a 650/550 wheel. All mine look like that .
Could even be as simple as cast in different factories.....but then it could be that the 1100 power output was considered to require a chunkier brace.
As always when buying 2nd hand a risk is involved, I mean the seller might not have known ...we didn't / don't!
A Suzuki part number check will say wether the 1100 SZ and ET Models were the same.

Its the same pattern, just a slightly different hub casting?
Cleaned up and painted yesterday the spokes yesterday.

Re: Front Wheel Differences: 1100S vs ET
It seems that at the beginning the Kat and the ET were different fitments , but at some point they were superseded and the ET type won out ...because it was used on the 650/550//750 aswell.
So either would be correct?
