CB750 / CB750K2 Forks
« on: March 16, 2013, 10:06:56 AM »
Hi Guys
I'm undergoing a full restore on a UK 1975 CB750K2 that I've bought last year and having fully rebuilt the forks, discovered (when fitting the chrome fork tops) that the bike seems to fitted with CB500 Four forks! (the CB500 has a threaded rod running from bottom fork leg that screws into the top fork tube nut - after researching CMSL schematics online) Anyway, I've bought a set of early K2 forks to rebuild and as the fork tubes are beyond repair and am looking to buy a new set - probably pattern as i'm going into shock at the amount of money I'm throwing at this project (can't do things by half unfortunataly!). I've seem a set in America on ebay that would work out at about £160 a pair plus import duty.
But I've also seen a set for £92.90 post free for 76 - 78 F. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pattern-Front-Fork-Stanchions-to-fit-Honda-CB-750-F-SOHC-76-78-/271172968636?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3f232b20bc) - Anybody know if I can use them with the K2 fork bottoms?
I've put a few pics on of rebuild so far for interest
Thanks
Phil
