Bumping a thread back from the dead.. Will any of these work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-1978-CB-400-Hondamatic-A-CB400-rear-Wheel-Rim-Comstar-1-85x18-/161760610980?hash=item25a9af0aa4:g:0sAAAOSw-vlVoT5H&vxp=mtr...

Go with LEDs with a wide spread angle.. It will eliminate the hot spots and give a more evenly lit look.

So I was thinking about possibly swapping out the rear 16" wheel on my 78 CB400 tii with an 18" to have it match up to the front. I found out that some bikes (not sure which though) had an 18" rear Comstar on the rear. Does anyone know from which bikes this swap is possible from? I found this...

The rear looks to be shaft driven so I don't think it'll work. Plus big $$$$

Can anybody confirm? Is this something that can be done?

Looking at possibly ditching the Comstars on my Hawk II in the future.. What are my least headachy options?

Good lord that's amazing!

They're removable though and I don't mind having holes, I just don't want the molded in mounts getting in the way and whatnot.

back from the dead bump.. Could someone measure and give me the dimensions of their 360 aluminum clamp please?

Great, thanks. I was thinking of using 1/4" I just wanted to confirm. I'd rather be a couple grams heavier and not have anything break 8)

I'm about to jump on redoing the rear end on my 78 Hawk II.. what would be a recommended thickness for the steel plate used for the new rear shock mounts?

Still looking for an answer here..

As far as I know they came with both a stamped steel (which I have) or an aluminum one depending on the model variation. Or I might be wrong and searching for something doesn't even exist??

Haha awesome keep em coming!

Do you have the aluminum top triple clamp?

Sounds about right, thanks chicken. And yea these things are a bit awkward for sure haha but it's my first bike so I'd like to hang onto it. I'm about to throw this thing on the operating table though so it hopefully should be a cool little machine once I'm all done.

I was told by the previous owner that my bike was a Hawk II so I out of curiosity I wanted to see what a Hawk I was and not only do they look the same but all the specs are dead on AND they were built for the same years. I thought the II might have been a successor model or something but it's...

Amazing work!

I wanted to get a sticky started to help those wanting to use a different tank from what came stock on their bikes. Direct bolt ons to major modding needed, post up here what has been a "confirmed" swap. Pics would be great also. *Mods please delete if there already is a thread like this one...

So happy I've found this thread! I'll be putting in an order with you really soon.
