Would like to swap wheels on my 1979 with wheels off early wing 1975-77.
Is it a straight swap or some mods are involved, someone must have done it before, any help is appreciated.
thanks

Back wheel is a straight swap. Front wheel can be done but requires rebuilding of the brake mount system or replacing the forks with the earlier year type so the brake offset will be correct.
