74 CB750 Brake Question..
« on: March 08, 2010, 08:00:48 PM »
Okay so here's the problem..

I have 74 cb750 spoked wheels that I recently bought to replace the comstars that came with my bike.

 But my 74 cb750 came with black forks, and the brake caliper that came with the bike doesn't fit the spoked wheels.

What is the solution to this problem?  Buy a different caliper and see if that fits onto the forks? Buy the aluminum forks and matching caliper?

1 more thing.. I also noticed that the caliper sits on a bracket.. maybe I could just find a bracket and put that on the black forks. 

Any help would be appreciated!

To swop from spoke to comstars or vice versa you need basicaly the complete front end as calipers,discs,pads,fork sliders,speedodrive etc are all different
