Ya there is a knack to it. Stand left side of the bike with your left hand on the left hand grip, right hand gripping the frame under the pillion seat and right foot on the centre stand foot peg. Lean hard on the centre stand with your foot while lifting the arse of the bike up and back with...

Hi guys, I am doing a café build on a CB750 K4 but I suspect the forks are from a later bike. Can anybody tell me what model these forks are from? I'd be delighted with any insight into this issue as I want to get this bike on the road. Thanks, Simon.
