Harley 16x3" rims on a 1972 CB750
« on: September 03, 2014, 12:07:34 PM »
Hi all.

So rebuilding a 1972 cb750 into a cafe racer.
I've extended and exchange my swingarm with a 1980 kz1000.
New 41mm forks from a zx600 Ninja.
I want to put smaller and wider wheels on it. Thinking of spoke 16x3.5" rims both in front and rear.
Dual 300mm rotors front and 220mm rear.

My only problem is I can only find harley spoke wheels with this dimensions.
Anyone tried to do this?

Thx

16" harley rims are a very common old mod to CB750's.
