Ok..Who knows the answers to these pressing questions??

I have recently procured an 80 750e. My hope was to use the EXCELLANT frame for my 77 cafe project as i am not quite sure i like the way the PO of my 77 cut the frame. BUT i have since found that the tank of my 77 doesnt fit on the 80 (shoulda guessed that) My new thoughts on it are to pull the forks, or mayhaps the entire mast from the 80 to place on the 77 (dual disc and stock length forks are the reason for this thought) Does anyone know if this will be a bolt up situation or will it require exstensive mods?

Second, what major mods would be required to switch the dual disc set up over to the spokes from the cast wheels?

And..whats more, after i have pulled what i want off this thing, most likely whats left will be for sale... havent decided yet, as i may attempt to get the 80 running (top end wasnt getting oil and has some scoring going on)

If i do decide to sell, i will list for those interested...at any rate,
any help on the above would be great!!

Thanks

Yes god help you..that looks like a painfull condition you have there. Let me clarify...it's not simply a matter of rebuilding the top end of the 80 and having a complete bike...ALL of the body work is gone. For those purists *freaking* out and shuddering at the thought of this, neither bike is in "classic" or restorable condition...simple enough. Thanks for your imput

If your wire wheel hub has a plastic cover on the right side, and under that cover are some holes, it's a direct bolt up. Just bolt the discs onto the wire wheel and mount it up to the newer forks.

I'm pretty sure all the standard and E model front ends interchange with the correct bearings
