1.85 x 19 & 2.25 x 18
« on: March 23, 2008, 03:40:05 PM »
F   1.85" x 19"   &  R  2.15" x 18"
Are these the correct rim sizes for a '72 CB750k? 
Suprised to find that none my manuals list the rim size...only tire size

Trying to locate aluminum wheels and it seems like 75-78 GL1000 wheels are used a bunch as are CB750A
wheels.  I've found a rear wheel off a GL750 but it's 2.5" wide...that's not too much wider that it will make things difficult to fit - I don't think.   I'm planning on using my hubs (72 CB750K) and re-lacing w/ new spokes.
Spokes for 77 & 78 K's I'm able to find.

Ideally, I'd like an 18" rear instead of the 17".   Anybody know if they put 18" aluminum shouldered rims on any of these, or was it just 17" ?

Any body know of any besides ebay ?

Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.
