Trying to keep out of trouble
With spring in the air and my CX500 so close to completion it was time to secure my next project, it is a 1978 CB750. Will the cx500 comstars fit this bike as I prefer them to spokes?

Hoosier Daddy said:Most guys want to swap their Comstars for spokes so I bet if you are patient you could find somebody to swap you even up!
Probably totally wrong here but... I think 78 was the first gen to get Commies, but only on the A's and the F's. Assumeing yours has rear drum, I see it has a single rotor front. Don't know if you could mount a single rotor on the front wheel off an F or not, If I remember right the single rotor has 6 bolts while the dual has 5 : .... other wise you would need F lowers to get the right side caliper mount...Maybe pick up a complete F front end and get dual rotors. Of course that would mean dual calipers, lines, splitter, and master cylinder would be needed as well.
This guy is trying to sell a set... http://mijola.com/vehicles/motorcycles/sohc-cb750-comstar-mag-wheels_i61437

So I wonder why the rear brake wouldn't work?
Factory term is dampers, but commonly known a "cush (coosh) drive" around the net.The good thing is that the drive has 4 splines. What do they call the pieces of rubber that act as shock absorbers in the drive hub?
