Fork offset and spacing specs for SOHC?
« on: November 29, 2011, 10:33:08 AM »
Can't find the source, but I wrote down that a 74 CB750K has the same offset (60mm) as my 75 CB400F, with 10mm more fork spacing.  I want to use 35 mm forks on the 400 and keep the same geometry, so is the 74 750F the only option?  Where did I find these specs?  I hate getting old!

Looking at some notes I made the 72-76 750K had a caster of 63 degrees, and a trail of 95 mm, so can anyone confirm that these all had the same geometry, which would imply they have the same offet?

Offset for the K's from K0 to K6 was 60mm as far as i know, the F0-F1 went to 50mm offset and i think there was a small change in rake as well..
750 K2 1000cc
750 F1 970cc
750 Bitsa 900cc
