GL1000 FORKS FOR THE CR 750
« on: December 27, 2015, 07:17:39 AM »
Hi All,
I'm looking for a suitable fork set up for the CR 750 project.
The general idea would be to go for a Goldwing set up ie GL1000 1975-1977 with the 37mm dia. stantions.
Am I correct that this year would have the trees that fit straight onto the 1977 CB750 headstock ?
I was looking at also using the same GL front hub, twin disks set and a new spoke wheel ( the whole front end )
Any info appreciated or other options considered.

Cheers Keith

Hi Keith,
I have a 1975 GL1000 (soon to be tax exempt, yippee!) and can do my best to measure whatever I can get at, bearing in mind (no pun intended) that it is all together and working.  CMSNL or DS parts lists might help to find common part numbers for bearings and perhaps yokes. Do you have the tree for the 750? I can measure the stanchion centre distance accurately.  Let me know if you need measurements or pics.
Regards,
Ian

Keith - apologies I missed your Pm. I'll try and reply to this thread later. I have a few complete GL1000 front ends that I've hoarded over the years for CR builds.
