Rims from other bikes
« on: April 25, 2014, 08:47:03 PM »
I am new here.  I have a 73 cb750k and I was wondering what newer front forks fit and what rims from different bikes would bolt up.  I would like inverted crotch rocket forks uo front and a little but wider tire on the back.  But I want spoked rims.  I really have no clue as to how to figure this out.  Thank you guys.

Jim,

The easiest front end conversion would be a Suzuki GSXR front. Take a look at Cognitomoto.com. Devin has hubs that will allow you to run spoked wheels with the modern forks and brakes. He has all of the parts you will need to swap in a 750 length steering stem into a GSXR triple or he will even do it for you. He will even sell you a turn key kit to swap onto your 750.
