GS'ing isn't on my mind (necessarily).
My 1991 K75 is listed at 500# what wire wheels fit a K75?

I think most of these (if not all) are replacing both the front forks and the final drive with units that come with wire wheels from the factory. Check out this link that Sibbo provided. Scroll down to the bottom.
