Topic: parts list for dual disc conversion

[DiCi]

Hi folks,
 i'm looking for a parts list if there is one to convert my 1975 750k to dual discs, TIA

[Don R]

Everything that is on your bike now plus an extra long banjo bolt and washers. The bracket and caliper are reversable, there was a custom speedometer drive available or you can make yours work. The fender brace needs a little massaging. There are numerous threads about it.  Try the search on the left .

+ 6 GL1100 disc bolts

thank you Don !

 i read a lot of threads but they all seem different depending on model year, i guess i was looking for part #'s  to be certain i was getting the right parts, i'm not a mechanic, so i'm trying to avoid having to buy parts twice !

Good info in this thread....

[DiCi]

thanks for the info Fly !

those part #'s are for a K1, are they still a valid choice for my K5 ?

The K1 caliper mounts will not bolt up to K5 fork legs: you will need a K3-K6 caliper assembly. All of the K model rotors will work.

550 parts while looking similar to early 750 parts don't work, so be sure to get the 750 versions.

Hey David, it's the late 750 calipers that look like the 550 calipers. Hey, it all worked out in the end for all 3 of us.

thanks for the heads up Scottly ! much appreciated !

Thanks for the heads up correction, had it backwards.  Calipers are same, right? It is the mount brackets that are different, which accounts for rotor diameter differences. Rotor hubs are identical.

Calipers are different; 550 are 38mm, and K7-K8 are 42.8mm. The 550 caliper is basically a smaller version of the late 750 unit.
DiCi, since you are in Canada, you might get in touch with Frank, aka 754, and see if he can help you out with parts.

I forgot the rotor bolts. I used 5/16" don't remember the length, with nylock nuts. I bought a bag full and may still have some.
