old wheels

[2valve Tom]

I think the old V7III front wheel will fit my 23’ V7 850 Special but will the rear? I love the looks of the V7III wheels as to me they look a lot like the ones on my old Le Mans III. Plus I’d like to run tubeless tires once the stockers are gone. Thanks

You’re correct about the front wheels being swappable. Unfortunately the rear are not compatible. The final drives for the V7 III and older small blocks have a different design in their mating dogs, as well as number (E5 bikes have 5 dogs, pre-E5 have 6). See images for comparison:
