cb750c /gl 1000 or 1100 front end swap
« on: August 14, 2018, 06:03:28 PM »
ok, i'm new to all this. I just picked up an 81 cb750c dohc. good running bike., less than 17 k original miles. :) my interest is to make it "more interesting" i.e. gl front end, apes, etc. what front end gl1000 or gl1100 will bolt up to this. can someone give me a run down on the proper bearing set up (gl lower cb upper?) I've been reading up a bit, i get lots of info on earlier stuff ( earlier years) not much in this 81 time frame. any suggestions will be helpful. thanks. i get the forks on the gl will be longer, i'm good with that, I'm going for the "chop" anyway, may go 4 inches over. what i'm really hoping for is advice on what are the right year(s) front ends to look for so i don't get bogged down with stuff that won't fit, waste of $, etc. I'll be looking for a complete front end, once i know what i'm after.

"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
