Modern sport bike front ends have very little offset from the steering stem to the fork tubes as compared to these old CB''s. Notice how the header tubes look like they are fixing to eat the front tire? I'm having similar issues with a 78K I'm putting a '02 GSXR front end on. It's something to watch our for. I'm in the middle of researching what will work better and keep factory geometry more in line with stock suspension specs.With stock rake and the lesser amount of offset it produces a ton of trail= slow steering.  I'll post up when I find out something.
