Title: Unidentified forks
Post by: Tony.B on January 14, 2026, 05:22:33 PM
Anyone know what these are for? I was told possibly a sixties or seventies Honda. Belong to a friend of a friend, I'm supposed to be moving them on, but no idea what they are.

I suspect they could be CD175 - I seem to recall there were some CD175 parts amongst the stuff you had when I collected the C72 chassis a while back?

Hi Chris, it isn't from that stash, I have only a small amount of odd bits left, but virtually can't give them away!
These forks came from a friend, he was giving me some random British bits he wanted shot off, but had these forks from another guy who also wanted them sold. A bit convoluted I know; I think everyone sees me as a convenient dumping ground!  ;D

Just a shot in the dark, but, I think they did the CB72/77 in red.

I think they may be early (pre -1966) CB72/77 ...If you look at the top yoke centre hole it's quite large large to fit the top nut as pictured.

UPDATE !  If you look on the first pic the stanchion on the left has CB72 written on it marker pen !
