80 Cb750 custom front end on a 71 cb750

So I have been thinking of taking the triples off my 80 CB750 Custom and putting them on my 71 cb750. Can it be done. I would also like to take the rear mag off the 80 and put it on the 71 so I can run tubeless tires. any ideas on how to accomplish this

For the trees, just get a set of All Balls tapered bearings, and put it on. On the rear, just bolt the wheel on. You might need to make/move a tab, for the break anchor.

You can just swap the forks, but the spacing, for the wheel will be too narrow, for the DOHC wheel.
