Front to rear weight bias?
« on: September 18, 2018, 08:36:29 AM »
I'm running a 76cb750f frame with 78cb750f everything else. Decided to weigh it with some bathroom scales, one under each wheel. Front weighed 240, rear was 265. I thought most street bikes have more weight on the front for handling. It does handle fairly well and no headshake up to about 80. So, not really a problem just wondering.

Shouldn't have any head shake at all.  It's a 120mph bike.  Time for a front end inspection!

Otherwise, you're right about weight bias.

No headshake, just havent gotten it past the 80mph range. Currently down for repairs. It has cb900 shocks so it sits higher in the back. 530 chain and sprockets. Nothing hangs out past the axles.  I guess its time to shave more weight.

 That makes me wonder how the other cb750's compare.
