cb 175 triple trees

[BrianS]

Long time lurker first post. Want to run a 100/90 19 front tire on a 1973 cb175, my question is can I use cb 350 triple trees with my forks and wheel or do I need everything from a 350. Or any other ideas welcome. thanks

Sorry 100/90 18

350 forks are 33mm. 175 are 31mm. Two minutes of searching on this site would have told you that.

If all you want is a 100/90-18 tire, just lace up a new wheel and spokes. Either call up the folks at Buchanan's, or search eBay for CB175 spokes (it has an 18" wheel). You will need a new wheel swapping from 19" to 18", so be sure the wheel you get is 1.85" wide.

And welcome to the site!

Don't be a dick.

Not being a dick. I provided information for him. That said, a simple quick search would have told him that you can't just switch 350 and 175 forks.
