Topic: CB750 forks vs. CB500T forks, interchangable?

[Magpie]

Hi! A friend of a friend has crashed his 1975 CB500T and needs a set of forks. 750 ones are relatively easy to find, will they fit a CB500T? The CB500T is the last in the line of the 450 twins. Thanks, Cliff.

I just put 750 fork lowers onto a 73' cb450, which is basically the 500t with less stroke. bolted right up.

I forgot that 450 forks may be around an inch or less shorter and springs a tiny big different. A 70 450 Has KO legs...I kid you not..
