CB750 rear hub decision
« on: January 05, 2013, 08:45:25 AM »
I realize the earlier sohc and the 77-78 have different rear wheels. Can the hub from a 78 be used on, say a 75? I'm building a 16 inch rear tire but haven't decided which bike I'm going to put it on, or which wheel I'm gonna cut the hub out of.  Any thoughts?
What am I doing and why am I doing it? Those are excellent questions.

Hubs from 69-78 on drum brake wheels should all work, sprocket carriers are 2 basic types and brake shoe plates have a handful of different versions.

So theoretically, I could lace the hub and choose to use the tire on either model by simply changing everything else?
