does anybody know if cb650 wheels will fit cb500, as i've been put onto some

[SteveD CB500K0]

I've not heard of it.

Standard answer to questions like this is "anything can be made to fit anything - just depends upon how much work you're prepared to put in"

If they're cheap, get them and try - but prepare to struggle with chain alignment and brakes (did the 650 have a rear drum?)

Easiest way for a wheel update is  buy a set of aftermarket wheels, I got mine for my 400 off eBay for 50 quid they just bolt on if you buy ones specific for your bike.

Your spokes look better though Dave.

dave, some do have drum rear, had a word with a mate and he recons they can be more trouble than there worth, it was just a thought as ive a chrome front and a alloy rear, apart from spokes rusting a little their ok.

Dave, you need to sort out your signature.

What have you done to upset Photobucket?

I think it

I think Ive spoken to Clive via ebay, if so he put me onto this site, Thanks again. I'll risk repeating meself here as someone else may be interested.
As far as cb650 wheels go the rear fits streight in no problem, the disks on the front however touch the forks so fitting the front end off a superdream is a better bet if matching wheels are desired. The head bearings are interchangeable and I've dome this in the past. The cances are that a complete 650 font end would work as well, I've just not tried it........ Yet......
