CB750K8 Front Fork Rebuild
« on: December 11, 2023, 08:26:34 PM »
Hi everyone,
My front fork is in need for a rebuild. The seals are leaking and the chrome on the fork tubes is pretty much gone.
Now, I would like to lower the front fork by 2" and was thinking about shorter fork tubes.

From what I read so far, it seems like the 78' K8 model has different forks!? Does anyone has a recommendations where I could shorter new forks?

I found some on niche cycles but not sure if they would fit and if the quality is right.

Forks by Frank will make fork tubes to your desired length.
