As the title states,

Will the rear wheel from a late 70's honda cb400 fit if i dissambled the wheel and used the stock cb750 hub/drum brake instead?
 
True pieced Comstars are not meant to be disassembled, they don't simply bolt back together without a squaring up/truing jig, they will be running all out of whack. The 'bolts' are actually rivets per se, they press into place and once removed you have lost that initial pressfit, leaving the wheel loose and rattling. Why the triangular nuts are wonky on them, to dissuade people from taking them apart.

And likely no anyway, typically the smaller models have smaller hubs than bigger and the pieces won't fit together. The struts are too thin on the smaller ones too, not intended to take the power of a bigger motor.
