How common are wheel & suspension upgrades?
#4
The CB550 had a 19" front wheel, the current CB 1100 has a 18" front wheel; both are not 17".

You'll need the TTT for what ever fork you go with, the CB550 TTT is not a remote option.

A better option would be to have custom wire wheels made from the hubs of the 2017 CB1100 EX wheels. You can have what ever rim size you want. You can pick almost any fork. My suggestion would be to not use an USD fork. AT best, it would only be for show as the frame will never be stiff enough to make full use of an USD fork. You can easily get a cartridge front suspension on the bike; a disc brake on the rear.

It will not be cheap... What toy is?
