Ok... I got this hair brained idea tonight.
Last night I picked up a '77 CB750K (same year and model as my blue and white cafe).
This thing was TRASHED!!! Someone needed to get the engine out..... so they cut the right side of the frame out!!!!!
Is that fu<king nuts or what!
Anarki650 and I were laughing at it..... it was pretty bad.....
Ok, So i cut the frame apart and I had the front end with a neck still attached and from (basically) the front of the seat back.
So now, I will be able to mock up fancy suspension in a neck or put on a newer sport bike suspension and have no down time.
Cool huh!
So anyway.... I was looking at the pile of parts I had from the last bike I stripped down. A '75 CB750F. I have the wheels, swingarm, calipers, master cylinders, etc.
DING!!!! The light bulb went off. I measured the swingarms... BINGO! 9.25" wide. So, theoretically, I could take my K model frame and put disk brake out back. Would that be cool or what?
I know, I know.... just buy a friggin supersport.
Yeah, well... I got one of those in the works too (2 in fact).
Anyone know of a newer sport bike swingarm with a 9.25" front width?
