Cognito Rear Disc Conversion (CB550)
« on: February 05, 2018, 08:50:23 AM »
Hello All,

I am curious who has installed the disc conversion for the rear on a 550 from Cognito. I am specifically looking to understand the sprocket side and what stock components are needed. I get the brake side and the spacers but that sprocket side is eluding me.

Any one have pics or experience they can share?

You will need all of the stock parts outward of the hub: dampers, flange, sprocket, etc.  https://www.partsfish.com/oemparts/a/hon/506b8b37f870023420a1e81c/rear-wheel
