Dont know from personal experience but....
Going from part numbers, I assume you mean a cast wheel?
the part# for an 80-81 XS850 is 2H9-25168-29-00 and has the same part # XS1100 78-81, XS850 80-81 & XS750 77-79
78-81 XS650 part # is 2M1-25168-20-00 and has same part # as SR500 80-81

- as far as i am aware, both alu and wire spoke 1.85x19 wheels from 35mm forks from XS650-750-850-1100 and SR500 2J2-2J4-48T are all interchangeable having the same hub patterns and widths...doesnt necessarily mean the brakes are direct swaps

it should fit, I've got xs750 forks on mine with 650 wheels so it should go the other way
