CB550 front wheel to fit my CB750 K2?
« on: October 13, 2019, 08:48:46 PM »
Hello,
As part of the project to replace the Lester wheels on my CB750, I bought a spoked front wheel from a CB550 after being told this would fit.
Is this true? they are both 19" but are the offset, fittings, speedo drive etc the same?
Or have I been 'done'?
Ride safe.
Best regards,
Phil

I'll defer to trigger on that one.
