Soooo this is my bike 1979 cb750 K not sure what I'm after but it's been doing nothing for over a yr didn't have time or money, but now I do so I'm going to finish. I cut and lowered the seat to fit the Corbin one on it did forward controls  alien tank and cafe bars flipped around and now I'm thinking of changing bars , tach & speedo, headlight. As you can see I'm not doing the what everyone one else does(cafe)... Well that's about it. Comment criticism is welcome suggestions welcome.  Thank you.

You will need to find an old CB 450 top triple tree, so you can use bolt on risers, for the 1" bars.

It will go right on your forks. It is just made to use bolt on risers, so you could use 1" risers to mount the 1" bars. Unless the bars are made with 7/8" tube on the bottom, then you could use your stock upper triple tree. But the bars in the picture looked like they were 1" on the bottom.

I'm not sure of the years. I have only been told about the conversion, and have not been able to do it myself yet. However I think it is the Nighthawk tree.
