1980 cx500c front end swap ideas

[YoungBlood96]

I'm starting my first ever build on a bike I picked up for $400, I already have a basic design I just don't know what to do about the front end and rims :-\ if anyone could help me out and send pics of what they have done it would be highly appreciated

I was able to fit a suzuki boulevard front end with little effort. triple tree offset was only off by 2mm and length was spot-on, allballsracing was able to set me up with bearings for $55. I used a swingarm pivot bolt from a hurricane cbr600f as the axle, and for the pinch bolt onto the axle, a sleeve from between the front wheel bearings of a 1981 suzuki GS550 was perfect. turned some centering spacers on the lathe, and a rotor spacer/bolt pattern adapter and used a GSXR rotor. even retained stock cx500 speedo drive in the process.
