Interchangeable ??

clyde the ape
How interchangeable are a 1979 cb750 ltd & a 1981 cb900 custom??  My local shop is selling the 900 for $500,  I want to know how much stuff I can swap from one bike to the other.  

I was thining of building the 900 into a street/strip bike, but it has a 10 speed hi/low trans :(
Can I just swap out the trans??

I do not know how much is interchangeable, but I do know the transmission is not.

79 is DOHC, I believe.. I have an 80 750 that I will soon be stuffing some 900c guts into. Check out my thread here for lots of good info on the 900/750 mashup.

Also, I will be getting my 900c tomorrow  So check out my build thread if you're interested in seeing my progress/setbacks/frustrations/joys...
