is it possible to swap a 81 750 fork setup onto a 87 450? i like the idea of dual calipers and i found a good doner bike for a swap if its possible?

Hi,
You'll find fork tube sizes and steering bearing sizes on my little website. See how the sizes compare.
Thank you. For your indulgence,

CT, I would be amazed if the 750 front end couldn't swap over. You'll really need the entire front end though - triple trees, forks, axle, speedo gear, fender, 19" wheel (if yours is 18"), etc.... The ignition and steering stops "should" be the same, and your instrument cluster might or might not fit. Basically, the more you get from the donor bike, the better.
Now a disc brake rear setup.....is very complicated. Not impossible, but certainly not a bolt on type swap.Comment

The rear is possibly doable if you change the swing arm or are handy with a welder, as you need a caliper stay on the swing arm.The front should be a direct swap limited to the gaugesComment
