hi everyone.
ive just bought a cb550 1974 frame which eventually be a cafe racer.
im using cb1 fork tubes and i would like to know if theres any spoked wheels that will fit onto these as i dont want a horrid alloy on the front but spokes on the back

ideally i would like the original cb550k wheels on the front and back
does anyone know what wheel from what model might fit.

Does it have mags at the moment?  Because I've got a 74 550 and would like to get some mags on it somehow...

Chris,

Can you measure the length and diameter of the current axle on the CB1 forks?  If you don't have an axle, then what is the diameter of the clamp, what is the distance between the inside surfaces of the fork, and what is the thickness of the clamps on the fork?

This might be as easy as a swap in, but I think you will likely require new wheel bearings and maybe a new axle.  Don't worry, it is pretty easy, but you have to measure everything first.
