Help identifying parts
« on: April 02, 2023, 07:46:57 PM »
Hi everyone. I’m restoring a CB750 K7, the front forks and brake callipers aren’t original and I can’t figure out what bike they came from!

Please can you help identify what bike they may have come from originally as I’d like to sell them

Please see the pics

Considering it has Suzuki bolts holding the discs on I'd say it's off a Suzuki, doesn't look familiar though.

Yes we'll spotted Hawkeye / Ken. The design looks nothing like my old Suzuki  750 GS.
