I don't know. Somebody else might know. I pm'd the swing arm width of my 81 650-CSR >> compare your measurement >> measure from the center of the chain adjuster bolts. If that measurement is the same, then a 550 wheel will probably work but guessing. you would want one that includes the sprocket carrier & shock damper. The brake panels are the same. You should compare other stuff >> axle & axle diameter, bearings, etc.

1st pic. The brake panel assy is the same on the 650s & 550s.
some of the brake panel assys are black, so those have a different part number, but they're still the same.
2nd pic. If your swing arm is narrower, you still might be able to use a 550 Ltd wheel by using some of your spacers. guessing.
compare the actual center-to-center measurement of the chain adjuster bolts to the measurement I sent.
Also, the 550 Ltd Rr hub is ~ 4-3/8" wide.
3rd pic. sprocket carrier side of your wire spoked wheel. brake disk side of the cast alloy wheel. they aren't interchangeable.
