    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am redoing a 1978 750C, just for a rider. Can anyone tell me if,,,,. Were aluminum allow wheels an option in 1978?? I was told that they came with spoke wheels in 1978, but this one has aluminum allow wheels and the rear one is the wrong size for this bike. My next thing is to check the sprockets to see if they are the correct ones. My Clymer manual doesn't give that kind of information.
 
The E model came with aluminum wheels. Some dealers, or customers, installed these wheels on spoke wheel bikes too.
 
Excuse my spelling Bill, Alloy is correct. I have seen many, many incorret statements, but that isn't the "point".

The standard model had wire wheels and one front brake

The E model has the cast alloy wheels and two front brakes
 
Sprockets may not be correct size because a PO may have changed them out for different gearing, or possibly even done a 530 chain and sprocket conversion on it, which is pretty common.
