Can I fit any of the Comstar wheels/forks on a 1972 CB500 four?

If you let me know the price. I will be in a position to let you know if I can afford them before you spend more time trying to load photos.

Thanks

Hopefully a picture will upload, computer is vying to get into a skip nd will not save smaller versions of immages about 95% of the time.
I think price wise I'd like £200 for them, or a swap for a decent set of spoked wheels, not expecting immaculate but not with badly rusty spokes or rims.

tom400f:
I quite like Comstar wheels, but assuming everything else about your bike will be stock, particularly the exhausts, I don't think they would go. With a 4-1 system may be.

Never liked reverse Comstars (with the spokes fluted out)

Just sayin'

matthewmosse:
I have to agree that the conventional comstars are better looking than the reverse type, think they will fit a bike easily enough regardless of exhaust type, cirtainly nowhere near getting in the way on my 550k3 which had comstars on with either the 4 into 4 pipes or a motad Neta exhaust - from what I recall the issues there were only around front disk offset, the rear wheel is a direct swap over. These Melburs are not exactly my first choice, but might really set off a cafe racer bike. However they fit and do not need re spoking so for my solo bike they will do rather than buy new wheels. I wouldn't use them on my sidecar bike though, just not 'right'at all.

Doyou have a photo yet please?
