I picked up a 1971 CB350 basket case. I have been offered the front end from a CB350F real cheap and am thinking about using it so I'll have disc brakes instead of the original drums. Does anyone know if the 350F forks will fit, or if there are differences in length, etc?

Thanks

Fork tube diameter is the same, but unsure about length and spacers.

If you could score the whole 350F setup, fender, brake, it could be pretty painless.
I think they even both have 18" wheels.....

Great. That's what I'm hoping to do. Thanks for the info guys.

True -- although still leaves length a question. Not sure if it's the same and may lift or drop your front end a little. And the 350F has a switch mounted to the triple tree lower for the brake light, although that too would be an easy fix.

AllBalls racing has a slick cross reference for their available kits to adapt front ends from other bikes.
They don't account for steering stem length, but you can swap out steering stems to make everything fit correctly.
