I have a 71 cb 750 chopper that I need to rebuild the forks on. They appear to be from a kz. Was hoping someone here could help I'd them.

Looks like the wheel is backwards. What is the OD?

Yes. Looks like a KZ hub. Four bolt?

Digital micrometer was reading 36.81 mm on the tube and 6 bolts bolt the rotor to the hub if that's what you're referring to.

Unrelated, but it looks like cylinder #2 might be running rather lean (unless there was a variance in the plating when the headers were made). #1 might be as well but it's not clear. #3 and #4 look good.

I don't think that's a KZ front end. Are you sure it's 6 bolt? The rotors look like mine but not the sliders.

First thought I had when I saw the pic was a HD front end with a 21" wheel. The fender and the way it mounts looks like something from a Sportster perhaps?

Definitely a 6 bolt. 19 in wheel. Cylinder issue was previous. It's been repaired.
