Hey all,

Bike: 1977 CB550 'F'

I've tried in vain to use the search function to see if this is out there but I admit I couldn't find anything useful.

One of the bikes I'm building is going wire-spoke, the other (mine) I'm tempted either to go for wire spoke which seems the easiest, or to investigate Comstars.

I know they are widely not liked, but personally I am quite fond of the Comstar wheels. Does anyone know which models' Comstars will fit the CB550? I'd love to get a set for my bike, but I am unsure whether it is going to require a substantial amount of machining or replacement forks, bearings, spindles or other parts!

The end goal is to go for dual front disc and rear drums.

I've currently got some Lester Mag wheels on the bike.

What!!
You are seriously considering replacing Lester wheels.
With Dustbin lid Comstars!

Bryanj:
The only comstars i can think of that have drum rear are CX 500 and CB 650

K2-K6:
I quite like the comstars too,  but those Lester wheels are a pretty neat and good looking set. Unusual to even see two sets in the same place.

The SOHC CB 650 had comstars that seem compatable-ish (think they may bolt in) with drum rear config that would immediately be realistic to investigate.

K2-K6:
It's this one as it's a development of the 550 and has most commonality.
