Something is incorrect. I think we've heard this recently, it sounds familiar. 750K4?
For a K5.........It's the original hub, rebuilt and almost ready to install in place of a
spare K4 hub that I use as a spare(which is on there now.)
How do they compare to old shoes?
I know Jawa guys sometimes turn down shoes to accelerate the process of shoe setting, but this is different.
I've wondered if it required turning down the shoes, but on the other hand, seems like Honda would not go that route, just remove and replace.
This is the original hub for the bike laced to a new wheel. Don't yet know how they compare to old shoes yet, as they are still on the bike, which has a K4 hub.
I've changed rear wheels in the past, always have a spare for tire swaps any time
I wore out a tire.
EDIT: Went back out and examined things again. I had an extra axle laying around that I inserted thru the hub to keep things in order while assembling
the bearings/spacers/ etc. into the hub. I pushed the axle back towards the sprocket side of the wheel, so that it no longer was going thru the brake backing plate assy. Shoes and backing plate then fell into place. Suspect a spacer in the
hub assy may be slightly out of line causing a fitment issue when axle is inserted fully.
Going to try torquing the axle up several times to see if things align and settle in.
Fingers crossed...
