Re: cb750 frame
Different engine mounts. You will need to redo them.

Re: cb750 frame
The 650 is a direct bolt in fit for an early cb500 or cb550.
The 650 swing arm will bolt in exactly if you drill out the mounting bolts holes. It's about 1 1/2" longer than the 550, use the 650 shocks and r.wheel.
Electric is easier to swap the 650 harness to the 500/550.
The 650 airbox and battery box is a tight fit in the 500/550 frame requires alteration and you will lose the tool box under the reg/ rec.
Not every 500/550 tank will work with the 650 placement of carbs. also 500/550 side covers will have to be trimmed back to the chrome carb covers.
The 650 entire front end will swap with the 500/550.
This will be like riding a 650 , or a ballzy 550 that handles better than a 550
The 750 is top heavy and a bit more awkward if you compare the frames, a the 750 is not as agile as the smaller framed 500/550.
