1979 cb750f wheels on a '78 cb750f.

Hello! I recently bought a 1978 honda cb750f. It came with a '79 cb750f aluminum front comstar rim and the original '78 rear steel comstar. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if the rear from a '79 is a direct swap. I'm running cb900f calipers and mounts so I'm guessing it is. The rims are the same size. Thanks!

They swap over. Sprockets are both 630, as well.

Great! Thanks!

I haven't been to the DTT in a while. I did my Comstar conversion some years ago humm maybe 2009 or '10? Anyway, I used Suzuki GSXR 750 USD foks '06, a CB900 Comstar front hub and turned the I.D. of the hub to accept the larger modern axle bearings and made a new alu. inner spacer. I used a Comstar rear rim 2.15" x 18" and original front spokes (steel, non-reverse) and put it all back together with aircraft nuts/bolts/washers. CNC a spacer adapter for the large Suzuki rotors to the CB hub, Galfer Superbike s/s lines Changes the CX500 into a modern feeling bike and corrects virtually all the major faults of the bike. Also did a nice disc brake (from drum) on the rear but that's another story.
