Antione, you seem to be well on your way gathering information.
I took the easy, and safe way. I sourced a set of stock enduro
wheels for my SM project. I used the stock wheel hubs and had a
local wheel house, (Buchanons), lace up a set of Excel rims with
their spokes and nipples.
As for the 15 tooth. I had some trouble getting the 14 to fit on my
bike. I had to remove the swing arm pivot bolt and move the swing
arm back to get the sprocket past the plastic swing arm slider.
Also I had to grind ~1mm from the clutch master too.
There is a picture somewhere in my earlier posts.
I have *heard* that Husqvarnna wheels from certain years are a direct
bolt on replacement for the GG wheels. Again you will need to measure
the axle diameters and hub widths to be sure.
This is why I bought used stock hubs. So much easier.
Finding the 320mm brake rotor and caliper offset bracket could also cause
some problems. I got lucky and found a stock GG rotor sitting on a dealers
shelf. I think the offset bracket was from Motomaster and was for a KTM
with the same Marzocchi forks and Brembo caliper. It took some research.
All in all the effort was worth it. the bike is a hoot to ride as long as the
highway speeds are kept below 100kph. The bike will run higher, no problem,
but the bike has that 2-stroke surge as the power valve opens up right around
that 100kph speed. it wants to GO!!! from there.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
Jeff
