Will a CB450 wheel fit into a CB550 Four swingarm?
« on: June 01, 2009, 10:04:20 AM »
I have a CB550 swing arm and I'll be building a frame with it. I am wondering if the rear wheel from my 1974 CB450. I am hoping so as I will be making a frame from 1/2" chain and I want to utilize this swing arm as I already have it laying around. That way, I can swap the CB450 mechanicals over without touching the CB450 frame/tank/etc.

Thanks!

Both use same brake shoes and spokes so i would think with some adapted spacers it will fit
