I installed the forks, fork caps, brake caliper, master cylinder, wheel, axle, disk and fender from an XS650 on my CB750K-4 for a better ride and better brakes:

The fender, caliper, master cylinder, fork caps and axle are from www.mikesxs.com

The AGM battery, drive chain and taillight are too. So, it's almost a HondaMaha....

Any thoughts of a fork brace ? I always found the stock a bit too flexi.

Sgt,

Here is s pic of MikesXS fender and the description:

This fender is a tight fit and doubles as a fork brace (very stiff construction).

Notice also the fore and aft bracing helps to stiffen the whole fender.

Looks real good Pete, and should work just fine. Maybe it could be a Yamonda??

That's one way to make a Honda better.
Hey, that reminds me of a joke.
How do you double the value of a Honda?
Fill the tank with gas.
I heard that a lot after I got my Honda.

OK, why use aftermarket Yamaha parts ? Are they that much cheaper ? ( I never thought the stock Honda parts were bad , they always worked OK for me . ) I like the fact that they work though, good to have options .

Well, the lowers of the stock forks on the CB750 are shorter and the springs are stiffer and for me that produced a harsh, bouncy ride. I also had the XS650 forks given to me by the PO of my '81/H and they were in perfect condition. I also did not like the disk brake on the CB750 as it was a very early design by Honda. The XS650 caliper is better. The thicker and heavier fender from MikesXS also acts as a fork brace whereas the stock CB750 fender was somewhat flimsy.
