Java, I can't tell from the photo. As far as I can tell, it looks the same as mine.
I guess you'll have to wait until it arrives and try to slap the upper onto a CB750 stem and see if it fits. Great price, though! RR

If they have the stem size that is great, but they still have 37 mm tube size so it can't work with a 750 lower? Or am I missing something?

Right. Or a milled replacement lower. When you get your GL1000 triple, I think you'll be surprised by how much wider than the CB750 it really is. RR

No hijack there, Kiki. Was that with 37mm tubes or 41's? And did you use a front brake and wire wheel? If so, how? RR

I will be running 41mm tubes from a Shadow 1100 (2003) with original trees, but a new 750 stem on the project, at least that is the plan so far. I have the
entire front end from the shadow, has a mag wheel. and we are raking the stem 5 deg. If anybody cares.....

You mean Bruce? Funny thing about having a self emplyed job, like both of us do, in a shit ass MI economy, you got to work to pay the bills, and when there is
barely enough to pay the bills, there is no time left to play motorcycle builder, entire winter took one day off, and I'm still in the hole. and no pics
will be posted until we make some serious progress.
We are still playing with the curves of the frame in conduit before we bend tube. haven't had much time to do that either!
