CB500 vs CB750 spoke compatibility
« on: December 07, 2011, 06:29:21 PM »
I am having the wheels on my '71 CB500 K0 re-laced.  I am using OEM rims in the stock sizes.  My question is will CB750 spoke sets for the same year work for both the front and rear?

Front yes rear dont think so
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

if you can find what the hub & rim diameters are for both bikes
calling a spoke shop will confirm for they have all the sizes that each bike took and the length of spoke required
Buchanan's is a good place to call (626) 969-4655
