Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of whether or not Honda CB650 Nighthawk rims (1981 style) will fit on a cb360 without a major hassle?

I'm restoring a cb360 and thought the Nighthawk rims would look a lot nicer than the old spokes. Thanks!

I don't know of the axle is the right size, but the disk brakes won't fit for sure. you cant use the 650 caliper as it mounts different then the CB360.

I doubt the disk is the same size and same offset too.

Look for a Nighthawk or CB 400 or 450. You may need to use the entire front fork assembly.

I hooked a cb650 front onto my cb360 with not issue. I need to fabricate a mount to put the 650 swingarm on the back though.

It's going to be a great winter project. A small cafe that can fit on my sidecar motorcycle rack to show off with at the range. :laughing:

Nope, cb is at my room mates shop waiting for me to get some spare time to come work on her. The sidecar rig is in 158 pieces for painting and fab work.
