Hey guy’s. New to the forum, I have been looking around and trolling to see what some of you guys have built. I myself just bought my first Bike and I’m currently waiting to do some work on it( swap meet’s for new pipe’s and Harley fender’s). It’s a 1982 cb450SC (Nighthawk). Looking to do a bobber style of my Father’s 72 Shovel (picture below) One thing I would like to ask tho before I start throwing in all the time and effort into it. I’ve got my brother’s 1984 1000(1100? Forget) Virago sitting in the backyard with my bike and I wanna rip the front end off and slap that bad boy onto the Honda….. Giving it a different look compared to all the other cb450 bobber’s I’ve seen…giving the bike abit of a rake to it and the dual disk setup. If anyone knows off hand or someone that does. The lower tree shaft size of the Virago and will fit into the steering neck of the Honda i.e bearing sizes. I do know that I’m going to have to machine a shim because the steering neck on the Virago is 3/16’s longer then the Honda. Here is some photos of the bike and the exploded diagrams of the Virago tree shaft and the Honda tree shaft. I also have some photo’s of the front end’s + etc.
