Can I use a grider springer front end???????

I found a nice cheapgrider springer fcront end, what would have to be done to make it work on a stock 1981 cb750 frame. I know rake is probably needed but would I need parts?

Does it have the Honda stem, or the Harley stem? If it is Harley, you can get the needed parts from cycle-x

Just go to cycle-x's web site, and look for the Harley to Honda bearings, and cups kit. You can also give them a call. they are really helpful when you call.

That one does not look very long. What is the length from axle to the top? I think you might be all right with out raking the frame.

Hey TOOLS it is close to the same length as my stock forks so I guess I can do without the rake but it was off a Triumph should it have a different stem size? and was $125 a good price they just need a little cleaning up .

I just would not feel right letting you pay $125.00, for that front end. tell you what; I'll give you your money back.

It probably has the 1 inch Harley stem. Most of the aftermarket frames used the Harley stem.
