    You mean the X or the 700? And i dont think the front one will. The speedo gear for the 750 is a little bit smaller and doesnt have the "Tab thingys" that the 700 has.
    The 700 was kinda its own breed of bike. Not really interchangeable like the rest. I tried to put a 650 rim on my 700 and the speedo wouldnt work. Isnt the 650 and 750 built the sameish?

    I've got a rear from a 700 on a '82 750 frame as we speak and I'm pretty sure I borrowed a front wheel from the 750 for my MaxX when I was in need of a new tire... But then I have swapped the front wheel on that enough times that I could be mistaken or just confused. Will the 700 speedo drive not work on the 750 wheel?

    Actually, now that I think about it, I have a speedo drive from a 650/750 mated to the Fazer wheel that's on my X, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on yours, SL. Weird... But clearly more research needs to be done.

    Sorry for shooting my mouth off so quickly, Stovebolt. I'll try to get a definite answer for you sometime soon.

    i just like the look of the straight mags and not so big on the ones that sweep. not sure if that makes much sence. but that is what i would like to go for.
