Topic: Cb750K2 hardtail chop

[bobn1895]

  Can anyone help. Heres the problem, I have a hardtail chopped K2 with Kawasaki z650 wheels and forks (hate spoked wheels). The z650 forks are 36mm dia and my existing yokes are original K2 and are 34mm. The I'm getting 4inch oversized fork tubes for the zed fork lowers but I want to know if there is a cb750 model that ran with 36mm forks and would the yokes from whatever model fit a k2 frame. My other option is to have the existing yokes milled out to 36mm but I don't think there's enough meat on them to do this with enough confidence where safety is concerned. Any suggestions or ideas would be gratefully received.

why not make new triple trees? I have seen plenty of race bikes with home made triple trees over the years.

the closest you are going to get is DOHC cb's which some of the later ones from the early 1980s used 37mm forks. the yokes from that are not a direct swap anyway, you may have to shim it.

I thought all SOHC CB750's ran 35mm forks?

I once had a set of 34mm trees from a CB350 twin bored to 35mm with no issues, so boring 35mm trees to 36 is probably ok.
