Locating mag wheels for 78 CB750
« on: April 06, 2005, 07:48:56 PM »
Hello folks,

I am new to this board and was hoping someone might steer me in the right direction. I am putting an old 78 CB750K together and need a set of wheels but would like to go with cast or mag wheels instead of spoked. Where can I find wheels that will fit this old girl.

Appreciate the reply....got a good board going here .... keep up the great work..

Later
Ron :)

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Hey Guys,

I am in the southern US. I've been searching the salvage yards in my area with no luck. I think wheels from a 1994 VF750C or later will also work. Not too original but it should be okay. Any ideas are welcome.

well I think the comstars from the F3 should fit. These would probably be considered mags and would at least fit the look of the bike for the most part. Check axle and bearing sizes.

I'm still hesitating on getting involved with selling you guys parts from the shop where Im working. This might explain why I have responded but not supplied any parts in 6 months :( Prices are a bit high for the condition but I have been used to Sunny Califonia so the word "RUSTY" has a totally new meaning to me.

Ask for "WAYNE in referance to some vintage Honda Parts." I'll probably have to listen to you in one ear and the owner in the other if we get to swapping too many stories. LOL  Insist on talking to me so I can make a socio-political statement to this #$%*.

Thanks guys, I'll follow-up with a couple of you guys to see what you've got. When I get something worth taking a pic of and posting I'll put it on the board. Right now I've just got piles of parts.

Thanks again for the leads.

I like the look of Kawasaki mags. You just slip the Kawasaki legs into the Honda trees, then hook up the brake line and the speedometer.
