Topic: 1977 cb750 supersport wheels

[kenneyginter]

hey everyone, new to the forums. i recently picked up my first project for this winter and have already started the tear down. so far things are going pretty smoothly...or as smoothly as they can. anyways i was just curious, i really like the look of the spoke rims on the honda cb750k models and was wondering if i could switch my cornstars for them. im not sure what i would be up against and was hoping someone could offer some advice. i have searched the forms but couldnt really find an answer. any help would be appreciated.

I am in the process of switching to spokes currently on my 77 750f.  I am going to use 1976 cb750 hubs so I can keep the rear disc.  I have ordered Sun rims and stainless steel spokes from Buchanans.  I have the hubs but waiting on the rest of my parts to complete the switch.  I will try to document anything unusual that comes up along the way, but I may wait until the weather completely changes to winter before I complete it.

tweakin,

i read your entire project thread last night due to the fact we have the same bike. you do great work my friend, very inspiring. what are you doing with your powder coated rims?

[tweakin]

Thanks for the compliment.  I plan on keeping the powdercoated comstars for now just in case I want to switch back from spokes.

Be sure to search this site for numerous other comments about the wheel/rim options...........particularly the drivechain offset for the wider rear tire on the 77-78 models.

Thanks for the reminder.  I was thinking about that.

   Not sure but you might be able to use a rear wheel from a 75/76F with a bit of teakin'...or not. A front wheel from a Wing should work as well. It's used to convert K's to a double disc setup.

Yes, I still have the rings.  A lot of people interested but no one has put up the $$ yet.
