Tire Trivia - Or, what are These Wheels and Tires To?
« on: March 02, 2024, 09:34:50 AM »
I picked up these wheels and tires as an extra when I got my '73 CB350Four(s), but they came as 'added value'; I'm just not sure WHAT bike or bikes they go to, and neither did the PO. Does anybody know what bikes they may fit?

I did write on a couple as to what bike(s) I think they might go to, but I'm not sure. Any ideas...? If you click on the pic you can get a closer look...

 Any fronts that are 18" or 36 spokes will be smaller bikes. The 4 bolt rotor hub might be a clue, I think 500,550,750 have 6 bolt holes.

I'd say the one in the last photo, the one on the far right, is from a CB360 twin.
I believe the late CB350 twins may have also used that hub.
I'd have to look at PN's.
Do you have a copy of the Honda Shop Manual or Parts List for your bike? Get one here:

The first one to the left with the chrome cap and black on the hub looks Suzuki to me;possibly came off a GS550 or 750.
