About a year ago I bought what was advertised as a CB450 front hub (Drum Brake) Today I finally went to lace it into the rim on my CB350 Race bike. BUT the hub i bought is a 40 spoke hub not a 36. Pretty sure the 450 was also a 36 spoke wheel, Correct? Anybody know what I might actually have? It looks very much like a CB450 drum brake set up. I'll get a picture asap.
 
Almost all Honda CBs are 40 spokes. There might be a couple of exceptions but rule of thumb is Honda = 40.

CB360 is 36. Most of the smaller displacement Hondas are 36, and the 400 up are 40.
 
Yup. Anyway, anybody got 4 extra spokes kicking around? 2 inner and 2 outer?
 
Typically moto guzzi, bmw, ducati, honda cb above 450cc, harley, all the brit bikes and kawasaki are 40 spoke
Most the spanish dirt bikes, yamaha, the sub 450cc cb hondas, suzuki are 36
