Sounds like he is looking for extended forks. Could be wrong. If that's the case you would need to cut and reweld the neck.

oh yeah... that makes sense i guess..


 six inch over,  pipes... pipes 6 inches over stock...  i think they usually call them tubes though.. pipes are exhaust...  when i think of an over pipe, i think of this

 he's probably making a bobber....   most people just... lower the hell out of the back with some short shocks, and cut the frame to sit lower, chop the butt off of it, and make a little seat to sit on...

but with that said,   don't look for 6" over cb750 forks. you'll never find them.. just... look for 6" over forks period, that happen to fit the diameter of the triple clamps.. They don't have to be specifically for the cb750....

harley tubes are probably too fat... but... if you're modding a bike like that, you gotta figure out how to make things that don't fit - fit to achieve your overall goals..  you'll have to use whatever disk brake system comes with those tubes...

unless you are good with fabrication

No not making a bobber.  

Should have been more clear in my question. We all called them overpipes.

Making a replica of the bike I had will not be exact but we will get close. If I can get an old pic of it scanned I will post it. It got stolen in the mid 80's.

By the way I am not a he. Yes, I am a girl. Sorry I wasn't tryin to fool abody.

Thanks again for being so nice and helpful.

No they are not but gonna put them on hold. Oh do I really want to start to pretty her up but think I should get the exhaust first.

By the way you guys and this sight is awesome.

I think I am gonna hafta go ahead and get internet at the house so I can get on in the evening too.

According to my kids, (both grown and out of the house, thank the lord,) I am one of three people in Texas without internet at home. They are 21 and 22 so they know everything, at least until they realize they dont know anything.

While I am not "old" so to speak, only mid-30s, I work at a college in the tech department and when it comes to technology, it is actually surprising how many kids know NOTHING about the devices they use. It is actually quite astounding.
