CMA cast wheels

These are a pair of cast alloy wheels which I think are CMA but not sure. Any ideas what they are folks? I have sprayed them in flake candy orange to suit the CB750K4 I have . Its all original (restored to) but I was thinking of making it a bit different by fitting these. Do you think I should or shouldn't - bit undecided

Hi I think you should they will make your old bike stand out from the rest
, i guess they would have been a period accessory back in the day,
i have a standard Kettle fitted with Melber wheels and i think it looks cool

hiya Mick, I am beginning to be swayed, those Melbers look good on the GT. I would love to have one of those, great engineering making a real bike and a lovely two stroke(dare I say it!) burble from it.....Cheers Hubert

I have to agree with Mick, they were a popular mod back in the 70's (if you could afford them!
) Just keep the original wheels safe somewhere, and fit the casts! After all, it's YOUR bike, and if you like them, use them

I looked at these back in time and would say they are definitely CMA.
As already stated it's an easy swap/bolt on if you decide later that you don't like the look.
I like them, and gives a very nice retro feel to the bike that looks better if it's basically standard.

Cheers guys............I am convinced now, will fit them later on when the paint has hardened and I also need to rub flat a couple of runs. Will post a pic later with these on.Ta Hubert

i remember those wheels a mate of mine had some on his 400 f, you had to send them your old hub and they would fit into the wheel casting, not sure how!

I was wondering about that..............that makes sense for the back wheel
. It looks like the rear drum has had the outside of it machined and its then press fitted into the cast wheel centre. It looks very solid, glad it was a CMA job and not just a one off !
