OK, please don't move.
« on: October 22, 2012, 08:06:04 PM »
Can anyone tell me if the headlight ears from a mid 70's CB450 will fit a mid 70's CB750?

Thanks

Might work, only way to know for sure is to measure. Might be an issue in that the 450 likely has 33mm forks and the 750 has 35mm forks.

For what it's worth, my girls 71 450 fork tubes measured at 35mm.

To add to for what it's woth!! I used a 450 top triptree on a 750 so I would have the capabilities of changing handlebars with risers.  SAME 35mm tubes

Early 450's and early 750's did share a few of the same parts.
