Front end interchange question

I know some of you are HEAVY duty Honda guys SO...

I have an opportunity to pick up a chrome springer from a 73 CB750.

Will this fit on an 81 DOHC CB750K?

Also The wheel and brake assembly are not included so would my stock wheels, rotor, & caliper
fit? Or would I have to find SOHC units

Yes it will fit the bike. You might need to swap bearings since the SOHC uses ball bearings, and the DOHC uses roller bearings. As for the wheel, The front wheel should fit, but the brake caliper mounting might be different. You might just need to make a different bracket.
