No, I'm quite a way away from that. I was just wondering how it works and seeing if anyone here had done it.

Thanks! I'm gonna have to look that place up for sure! I'm hoping to work on it a lot this winter and have it ready for the spring. In the meantime, I bought a smaller bike really cheap and have been riding as much as possible to get the cobwebs out. I'm ready for the big bastard.

Also, I've found a few places online that describe the fork swap process, and they say best bet is to go with a CBR600 front end and all you have to do is change out the stem and bearings, if you find a complete front end. Very intrigued...

Do you know Rikard, the guy who won that custom panhead last year? I met a few people from your part of the world in Vegas earlier this year. I want to go visit.

That's what I was thinking, but I want to run wires...I'll try to track someone down who's done it before. By the way, you should ship your bike and yourself over for the Giddy Up show next year here! It was awesome this year.

Thanks, Stabler...your chopper is amazing.

What I DIDN'T get to type there was that they are pretty awesome bikes and it still shocks some folks to know that there are engines other than v-twins out there! The smaller cb's are pretty popular with the hipster crowd here, but ya don't see too many 750s.

Thanks for the welcome!

I've seen a few nice cb750 cafe builds out there on the interwebz that say they've swapped the forks with a set from a GSXR. Does anyone have any idea what it takes to accomplish this? Can I use my stock (78 cb750k) wire front wheel and just transplant the original brake caliper and all that, or...

Hey everyone! I'm Danny, I live in Austin, and I have a 78 cb750k. Bought it dirt cheap and am in the process of getting it back on the road for the first time in 10 years. I don't know anything about working on bikes, though, so I'll probably be annoying you all on a regular basis. Thanks!
