Hi, I am working on putting 07 Yamaha R6 forks (the gold ones) on the front of my '72 CL350. I purchased the complete front end off of ebay for $350 (forks, brakes, clip-ons, switches, so on). I just ordered my front rim, which is an excel 18x2.50, then I will order some spokes from Buchanon in order to design my front hub. I plan to design the hub around the length of the spokes that I order, which, of course will be a size that I know is close to what I want. I am going to run only one disc up front, so I will be cutting the bracketry off of the right hand side of the R6 forks, because they have mounts for duel front discs.
I am still probably a month off from beginning machining (lots of 3D CAD modeling to do), but will be sure to post the whole process on DTT, and give you guys a link from this thread.
Thanks, Ryan
Attached is a 2D representation of the front end...very slow going though.
