79 CB650 - spoke wheel fitment

Postby Carbine » Sat Sep 15, 2012 2:25 am

Hello everyone, glad to be here. This is my first post, so take it easy on me :lol:

I'm looking for a reference point on what wheels will fit my 79 CB650. It has Comstars and old tires on it now, and I'd prefer to put some spoked wheels on with the new tires.

Are any of the CB750 wheels interchangeable? I have a single disk front and drum brake in the back. I'd be open to the idea of changing the front end for a dual disk setup if it's a plug-and-play affair.

If anyone could help me out, or steer me in the direction of some info that will clear this up for me, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Thats good - thank you. I'll keep my eyes open for a set out there..

Anyone know if a set from an early (69-75) cb750 will fit? I found a set online for a good price, but the seller can't tell me for sure.
I assume that the sprocket will need to be changed, hopefully that's fairly straightforward..

Thanks again!
