I have CX650 Custom & I want dual disc brakes on front. What b the best forks for this application any ideas? Just wondering if any other Honda in the 80s will work?? Any help/direction b appreciated..

GL650 has the same cast Comstar wheel and the same diameter forks. They're probably a little longer than your CX650C forks.

I thought the cx650c had larger diameter forks (39mm) and they looked longer too?

GL650 37 - CX650 39. Although the forks on the CX are longer and leading edge, the distance from axle to bottom of the triple tree is about 1" longer and the neck is about 1/2" longer. Others have done it, but I cannot tell how much work it will be to change over. Let us know if you try how it works out if you try it.

GL650 37 - CX650 39.

Ahh... My mistake. I forgot about the leading axle, too.

I probably leave it alone. I got the bike its all original. Been in storage since 1984, in garage. It had the tires from 1983, 2800miles. I changed fluids, it started rt up. I put new tires plugs & needs fork seals. It has all paper work 1 owner. My friends brother bought it new & he past away & they GAVE it to me. I think he gave a little over $2400.00 for it new. I have the receipt. I get pictures on here if I figure out how

put a stainless steel brake line on it that will improve the braking

Or just click the place in the box where you type your message where you want the pic to be and drag & drop the pic into the box.

Double-H pads + stainless steel hoses + adjustable brake lever did the job for me.
Not as strong as two disks, but strong enough to lock the front with a healthy squeeze.
