Did any of the '79- '82 DOHC 750s come with a wire-spoke rear wheel with a disc brake? or were they all drum brake? The real question is...I have a '80 CB750F with comstars and rear disc brake, is there a spoke wheel that is a direct retro fit? thanks!

up for auction, thanks! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Avon-Distanzia-Motorcycle-Tires-18-19-cb750-cb550-vintage-honda-/122066538902?hash=item1c6bbb9196:g:FwMAAOSwdzVXnmu5&vxp=mtr

Thanks everyone, I would say I'm leaning toward keeping the 550, however, I think because the 750 isn't sitting in front of me, in my mind it has grown larger and larger. I do have a trip confirmed to Minneapolis in a couple weeks, so I'll have a chance to have another/final look at the bike...

So everyone is going with the 750, I kinda expected that. The weight issue is really my biggest issue. 70lbs is actually conservative, revisiting some numbers in some cases it's suggested the bike is almost 100lbs heavier. To play devil's advocate a bit... these are both 1980 bikes. In what...

Faster off the line eh? Good to know, that'd be great. It's about 70+ lbs heavier, best I can tell from online spec. sheets. I'm going to be in Minneapolis in a couple weeks, I'm going to take a good, hard long look at the bike again, roll it around, hopefully drive it a bit, then make a...

Yeah, both the Corbin seat and the Mac header were put on fairly late, and both only out of necessity, the original seat tore up and the original exhaust rusted out. What about the weight of the bike? Sure the 750 will be more powerful, but is that extra weight going to be a drag around town...

So here's my current situation. My current ride is an '80 Kawasaki KZ550. Wonderful bike. I'm in Brooklyn, I've got a great mechanic who has this bike running great. It's light, it's fast, it's super torquey. These bikes have a fairly steep rake angle, it corners and handles beautifully. In...

that appears to be a CB750K tank. They're a little shorter than the F tank.

These didn't work out on my KZ550, would be great tires for a CB750... located in Brooklyn. thx http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/mpo/5548151147.html
