So any mods you have to do to put the '83 rims on the '78/'79?

Melbers in "stock" form on a CB750. Might help visualize an option.

Yeah, trying to figure out where I will be going with the wheels. Initial inspection, front should mount right up.
Rear, going from a 17 to an 18, and figuring out what tire will still fit within the swingarm, gonna take some time.

Then, to keep that wheel finish or strip them down...
Then, paint of powder coat...
Decisions, decisions...

Gorgeous job on that rusty front fender. I am guessing the rear will turn out just as nice.

2 me that is overdoing the paint scheme. Thinking that the bucket should be done in satin black but that is just me. But thinking that your bike is looking GR8.Keep us posted

Gave it another look, and I have to agree with you. Bucket is too buried, stays OE black!
