nighthawk wheels
« on: December 09, 2019, 05:29:30 PM »
Anyone know if nighthawk wheels would work on a cb750k? Any customizing involved?

 77/78F's have the 5 bolt brake rotor pattern and different offset, most other sohc 750's have a six bolt rotor. I'm sure it's not a direct bolt on swap but I'm betting someone has tried it.

It looks like the 99-02 (or so) rims are tubeless mags. Sure like to make that change. My CB is a '70.

Check bearing size, the Nighthawk 16 rear I have was shaft drive, that can be adapted  to non sch drive sprocket. It had a drum brake  but was 17mm axle size.
