Of course.

He's going to be doing the thing on a shoestring--which is why its good that the vitals are in good shape on this one.

Quick question he asked me (and I, embarassedly didnt know the answer)>..

The stem, the hinge the whatever its called where the triples actually mount to the bike...is it generally the same size on most japanese streetbikes? More specifically, he wants to swap the whole front end off with one from a CB750. would such a thing work?

Possibly with a Steering Bearing Change.Worst Case you may have to buy two Different Sets of Bearings to get the Two Right Ones.That is if the Stem isn't too Long.I'll look and see what I can find. ;)

OK I've found that any CB750 from 69-78 takes the same Tapered Bearings as the CB360. :thumb:
