Hi Guys, first post here.
Quick back story, a good buddy of mine put together a CB750 bobber on the cheap and it turned out great. I've been wanting to build a custom bike for a long while now but don't have the ching for a big twin chopper or anything like that. It had never even crossed my mind to chop a honda... obviously its a great idea. I'm looking at an 81 cb750 for cheap ($600), aesthetically it needs work but the motor seems to be fine. I've seen a few pics on google that inspired me and have combed all apparent resources to try and answer this question:
Will a 06 zx10r front end fit and have decent geometry on any year cb750 stock frame? I understand I can have a new stem machined and welded or threaded onto the zx10r triple to accommodate the cb750 neck. I tried searching the question on various forums and tried to hunt down the length of a stock cb750 front end and the length of a stock zx10r front end .... in a rare admission of ignorance, I expected an easy answer of idk 20" lets say. However i was confronted with variables of pre load and length of tubes, length of springs...etc. Can someone please point me in the right direction or break it down stupid proof for me? Sorry for such a long post, just a bit frustrated here
Gracias,
