Hi all,
My stock front end is pretty rusted up on my 1975 cb750. Im here to ask if anybody has any advice on which easiest (least machining) and cheapest route to go to do an inverted front end?
 
Doing a yamaha r6 front end requires very little machining and is pretty easy and cheap-ish. If you want info on that I can tell you all you need to know.
 
Truth is its never cheap but just need to keep a few things in mind . You find the forks check then which wheel stock maybe ? What about spacers ? I'm not saying it can't be done right and with tight money but just something to think about ;D

Forks
Wheel
Spacers
Clip ons
Cables
Calipers
Spacers for the calipers
Bolts & nuts

Can some stock parts be use maybe which would help on the price but going cheap leads to other problems ! Don't know if any of this helps best of luck :)
 
Yeah you're not gonna get away cheap as most of us think of it. If you want a complete front end to swap onto your bike you're looking at 6-800 bucks. Then add in all the extras n pieces n parts. You also need to figure out if you wanna use spoked wheels or not and if you wanna go dual or single disc. All told you will be $1500 to $1800 into this.

That being said its pretty straight forward and pretty easy to put together.

I am actually hopefully going to be doing the assembly of my r6 conversion this weekend if I actually get a day off. Once its done I will post a pic or two
 
I did a CB750 with a complete front end off of a 2009 CBR600. Cost me $400.
 
Nice work. My costs were based off the r6 front end and keeping the spoked wheels and using dual discs
 
I did a 750 ninja onto a rd and used spokes wheels and had just under 40 bucks in it. i guess creativity is like a big coupon
 
I had less than $150 into mine. I got lucky and got an 04 r6 front end from a neighbor for $40. I wasn't trying to bkow it out of proportion but just to set the bar high. In my mind if you plan high then whittle the price down as much as possible its not so overwhelming. Also I was planning in buying a full front end, machining, various peices and parts and some extra cash just in case
 
It will nickle and dime you quick.
Bearings, spacers, machining, axle, wheel, brakes, brake adapters, etc.
 
The only way it's really cost effective is if you can do all of your own machine work.
 
Definitely agreed. I was super lucky in all of mine from the cost of the front end to getting all my machine work done at work for free.
