Topic: Found a rim in a bunch of Cb Spares, help identifiying? Looks Honda...

[Thunder]

Hi

i came across this whilst sorting out the rims i got with a whole bunch of spares.

I'm hoping to put it on a cafe I'm building, but I'm hoping someone here could identify it?
Some photo's comparing it to an original

70-76 CB 750 rim

[Thunder]

Really, wow. I didn't know they came in different sizes.
This sites a goldmine of knowledge/
Cheers

Looks a lot like the '76 550 hub I have, and the max diameter matches as well.

[Thunder]

Is yours wider than the 750?
I thought it was different (and i stand easily under correction here) in that the outer rim has a more squared off ridge(where the spokes go) than the common ones i have from 750's.

 i might be wrong here,  post a quick shot of the other side of the hub..

Dang, that's a wacky looking tape measure you have there.

17" from a late k like a 77 or 78?

[754]

Sorta looks like a drop center which would be a 17.. from 77/78 
 Should be marked on the rim..

 I sorta liked the 17 as it seemed  bit wider..
 I ran, 15, 16, 17, & 18 inch rims so far on the rear..
