'78 750 Rear wheel fit '72 750?
« on: April 25, 2007, 09:10:14 AM »
I'm looking for a stock replacement wheel for my '72 (which has a 16" on it now) and I found one from a '78. Will it fit my bike?

I put a '78 750k rear rim on my '74 750k, with no problems, your '72 should have a 18" rim stock, and the '78 is a 17" stock rim, you may have to change the sprocket depending on which chain you plan to use. Make sure you use the drum from the '78, ' I can't remember if I used the axle spacer from the '78 or the'74. I'm very happy with the 17" rim and it was a easy swap.
