hello all....soon to be 750 rider
« on: September 24, 2011, 01:54:09 PM »
Name is Ryan,  live about 30 mins north of milwaukee.  Hopefully soon ill be in possesion of a 1978 CB750.  Good friend of mine is just putting it back together 100% stock.......Been bikeless for about a year and its killing me, started out on a magna 750 and stepped up to the sportbike game with a TL1000R and moved up to a 06 ZX10r (174 rwhp) that was set up primarily for track/twistie riding and i miss her everyday.  Sold it to get my new cage (wrx STi).  Been riding since I was 16 on the street and have always loved the old jap bikes  but coulndt justify having one when i had my zx10r....Now I have a 2 yr old son who is totally into his plastic wrenches and screw drivers i figured an old trusty CB would be a good introduction for him to "help" me tinker on.  My plan is to go 100% cafe but with modern bits and pieces.......

Ill add a few questions since im at it.....I had pazzo shorty adjustable levers on my zx10 and just doesnt feel right not having them on a bike, is this pheasable on a 78 cb?
also
Not a fan of the search option on here but will try again, but is there a thread that explains what wheels are easily swappable?  Id love to throw on some kawi 250R wheels but as it looks from my research i may be making too many issues......

Anyways I look forward to learning a ton from such a great crowd and sharring my progress as i continue my journey with my CB....

later
ryan

Welcome, there are deffinately some options for wheel/ suspension swaps. One was done very nicely by a member " squirley" or something along those lines. as far as the feasabilty of modern levers on these bikes, as with anything it comes down to how much you want to spend and how much fab work you are prepared to do. good luck with your build and when you start it put it in the project section. You will get all the info/opinions you could want and then some.
