Kimtab or Henry Abe?  Looks like a 16"er.

I have one of them, I always wondered what it came off- is a Henry Abe an aftermarket wheel? I eventually replaced it with a standard wheel to fix the way too low gearing and slightly too low ride height that it causes. The sprocket on mine was massive like a dirt bike sized one!

Yes, Henry Be is a vintage aftermarket wheel. No, they are not exclusive to the CB750.
They do pop up on eBay.....

Ebay prices can be deceiving, I sold my 16" used for $60+ shipping or so, most of the sellers are way too optimistic.
