Hi,

I just need to know if the front and rear wheels, rim, everything, from a 1976 cb500 will fit a 1978 cb550.

thanks,

Doug

I meant 76 cb550 not 500.

So everything rim and all, will it bolt onto a 78 cb550.

thanks,
Doug

The front will; the rear won't.
If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.
