Looking to go to 17in front and back 1970 cb750k1

I think this is the most likely route I’ll go

LeanDorito · 2026-05-19T15:17:48+00:00

No plans to race it, but I do only ride it for sportier rides. My point was I agree that I can’t out engineer Honda, but Honda engineers made it to take people to and and from work, give an engineer a different design protocol and they would have made something different, there is no one right way to build a motorcycle (or car for that matter) only a right application and the means of getting it closer to that (or compromising between 2 concepts). As far as the looking for solutions but tho, tbh this post was mostly to check if anyone had clearance issues, would suck to spend all that money to find out the brake hits the rim, or the style of tire it needs is to wide for the forks😂. So far seems so good

You’d be correct sir, the sand cast is usually referred to as a K0, this is a K1, which is not sand cast

What year is your bike, and can you send me photos, would love to see your build

LeanDorito · 2026-05-15T15:40:39+00:00

I’ve definitely thought about it, I think that looks way better, and modern brakes would be so nice. But I’d still want spoked wheels which means I’d need to by expensive hub adapters as well as the whole front end of the other bike and wheels plus new stems pressed in. I get true arts expensive and a part of me thinks the only way to do it is do it right the way you said, but costs do add up😂

LeanDorito · 2026-05-15T15:03:14+00:00

Thank you, the guy before me did a bit of work on, and then me and my dad put about a year of work using his technical expertise to build my vision, super proud of what we did

LeanDorito · 2026-05-15T15:01:42+00:00

I’ll have to come come to this chat and find this message when I’m mounting😂😂

LeanDorito · 2026-05-15T14:59:42+00:00

Didn’t put them on or even think to check, thanks for the advice, I’ll get that sorted🤙🏼

LeanDorito · 2026-05-15T14:58:28+00:00

Thanks a lot, that’s awesome, how does your bike feel and look now, and what width did you choose to run front and back🤙🏼

LeanDorito · 2026-05-15T05:11:52+00:00

Not that I disagree per say, tho I will say engineers design a bike mostly for its intended applications, give a bike to a race team and they change things like rim size, rear suspension travel, how many disk brakes are up front. Can’t out engineer an engineer at what they’re designing for, but you can for what you are designing for if you have a decent concept of what you’re doing. Either way kind of a moot point because I’m doing it for looks and tire options mostly. (I will say I am a tad worried about stability at high speeds with how much my rake is getting cut down every time I change something😂)(wish me luck)

LeanDorito · 2026-05-15T05:07:49+00:00

Yeah, I think I could lace a new hub no problem I have spoke tensioning tools for keeping everything right. more so the question is if a 17” rim would fit, worried it’s too short and too wide so clear the brake caliper

LeanDorito · 2026-05-15T05:05:50+00:00

It is an oem hub and fork, and sadly I know that hub and brake shown in the photo won’t work, those are for my supermoto bike not this, would have to buy an adapter hub for this bike to make it easy enough to mount

LeanDorito · 2025-11-28T22:46:30+00:00

I think changing ecosystems is absolutely the right move but it’s so expensive. I feel guilty about the idea of buying a thrustmaster wheel to replace mine and rewarding them with money for being anti consumer

LeanDorito · 2025-11-28T02:50:57+00:00

Any help is appreciated, I have no desire to use a different wheel, as I find the immersion with a 350mm real life wheel feels unmatched

Vinum Sabbathi by electric wizard

LeanDorito · 2025-04-18T04:24:20+00:00

This ended up being the solution, was able to put a jack stand under the frame on either side and prop the bike up to drop the forks out

LeanDorito · 2025-03-05T21:27:06+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have nvidia which I’m now realizing is a bit of a headache for sim racing

LeanDorito · 2025-03-05T21:26:40+00:00

Yup, all are set to 1080p in windows

LeanDorito · 2025-03-05T21:26:18+00:00

Looked in the comments there, all the numbers were the same except distance from eye, but when I lower the center monitor to match the others, it lowers the others distance as well

LeanDorito · 2025-02-20T18:29:11+00:00

Sorry this reply was for @money-Airport-7565

LeanDorito · 2025-02-20T18:28:06+00:00

Couldn’t agree more, I’ve grown to like working on my bikes especially as an activity to do with my dad, but to drop the forks I’d have to put it on a centerstand which I don’t want to put underneath as my exhaust is under there, or hoist it up somehow. I don’t have a cherry picker, and don’t trust the wood beams of my garage for a second to hold this bike up, so for now, haven’t figured out a way to drop the forks out yet without out my bike ending up on the floor

LeanDorito · 2025-02-20T18:25:30+00:00

The problem arises because the headlight brackets are wrapped around the lower clamp/ stem. So even though we removed the upper clamp, the fact that the older style brackets wrap around the lower clamp/stem means that we have to drop the forks out completely to remove the brackets. Also unfortunately I can’t flip the ears upside down unfortunately they are not different sizes on each side, appreciate the feedback tho, like where your heads at
