Frond end conversion gsxr
« on: October 26, 2015, 05:29:38 PM »
Thinking about swapping over to a gsxr front end. I currently have a 78 CB750f. This is certainly a down the road kinda thing but just wanted to get a feel of what kind of issues I am going to run into if I attempt to do this. Below is a link to a random one on Ebay. There is plenty on there that range from 300-2500.

stems are different, but you can use conversion bearings from AllBallz. Overall length of the stem is a different matter though. You might check out CognitoMoto for a conversion stem. Press yours out, press theirs in.

They also offer a hub to mate to stock GSXR front end, but offer 40 spoke hub to mate the rims of your choice. Very common, very easily done, very good upgrade.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

all balls website has a fork conversion search, once you put in the reciepient, it will tell you how many possible swap combinations they carry bearings and races for. cant be easier.
as said above, take yours off, press new ones on and viola
