GL? GL what? Valkyrie or Goldwing? Both are GL1500, then there is more suffixes to go with either one. All Valkyrie rims are interchangeable, but rotors matter. The same with the GW, but 88'-89' use a 6 splined rear flange, and the 90'-00' use the same as the Valkyrie, 5 splines. |

Wouldn't it be cheaper to have them powder coated the colour you want then to buy rims.

Goldwing wheels are not as wide (rear) and the fronts are smaller as well. I know that because for a short time I was using the rear swingarm, differential and rear wheel from a GW on my Valkyrie.  However, I did not use the front wheel because of the width of the front forks of the Valkyrie. The front forks from the GW will fit but there are no stops and the forks will hit the tank.  Live and learn. That is what you get when assembling a bike from parts. A great big jigsaw puzzle.  I now have a "complete" Valkyrie. Ride safe. |

All years, all models of Valkyries (std, Tourer,IS) wheels interchange. For the rear wheel... The wheel and rotor must be matching (early/early, or late/late) then all will interchange with all period.

This is the information I have hgathered over the years. I believe it to be accurate.
1997 Valkyrie front wheels use different wheel bearings than later wheels. It will have a ‘1J’ on the hub next to the part number.
1998 to 2003 Valkyrie front wheels all use the same wheel bearings and will have a ‘2J’ on the hub.
All front Valkyrie wheels can use the same brake rotor.
1997 to 1999 Valkyrie Standard and Tourer rear wheels have a ‘1J’ on the hub on the rotor side. They use the ‘early’ rear brake rotor.
2000-2003 Valkyrie Standard and Tourer rear wheels, and ALL Interstates have a ‘2J’ on the hub on the rotor side. They use the later rotor.
For the rear wheel, as long as you use the early style rotor with a ‘1J’ wheel, or a later style rotor with the ‘2J’ wheel it will work.
Because of the Interstate introduction in 1999, 1999 was probably a transition year for Standards and Tourers. Early Standards and Tourers might have a 1J, Later 99 Standards and Tourers could have a 2J wheel as Honda used up the remaining supply of 1J wheels.
Just be aware that at some point in the bikes life, someone might have swapped wheels.
For example, my 1998 Tourer (which came with a 1J wheel, now has a 2000 Interstate rear wheel (2J), thanks Chrisj CMA. I had to use the (later style) rotor that was made for the 2J wheel .
All rear brake calipers and mounting plates are physically interchangeable.

97 front wheels use a small OD bearing but the same ID so they will interchange with all years
