CB/CL 18" vs 19" front wheel question
« on: August 19, 2010, 01:52:23 PM »
Howdy all,

  I have a '72 CB350 twin that I am cleaning up a bit (11k original miles).  I also have a CL 350 as a "parts bike".  I was noticing that the CB's 18" front wheel had a bit of a flat spot in the rim... I figured I'd just take the CL's front wheel and put it on the CB.  I realized quickly that the CL had a 19" wheel up front, and not an 18".  I really did not want to mess around straightening the 18" CB wheel when I had a good spare around if there were no issues with the swap...  I do wish to keep the stock CB "full fender", and need to see if it will fit over the 19, but besides that, can anyone give me any good reasons to avoid the 19" front wheel on the CB? 

Cheers,
