All you have to do to put hondamatic rear rims (or early goldwing rims as they are the same) is get a hub from a 750 K bike. (K-K6 whatever year) The hub is the part that comes out opposite the brake drum, the one with the cush drive. Just swap the hubs and you're good to go ! A plus to the hondamatic/goldwing rims is they are alloy, much stronger than 750 K rims.

swap the hubs?you mean switching rims and relacing the wheel?The set of A wheels are complete,I was hoping I could just throw them on my bike.NEW sprockets and chain of course,or did you just tell me and I am not following you?

the goldwing hub will not work, the 750a hub however is the same as the k hub. i would use the sprocket carrier off of the k wheel though, it will fit. so in otherwords you can just install the 750a wheel right on the bike as long as the spokes are on good shape

Ok,but how the heck do I get the darn cush drive off my hub,I have yhe original factory manual plus a haynes and clymer manual and none of them tell me how to get it off.I can see it comes off but just cant figure it out.Am I just an idiot,is it obvious and I am not seeing it?Also do I need a special tool for the bearing retainer or can i make one?I align the A wheel behind my bike with the original on it and lay a straight edge along the 2 sprockets and it looks like it will work without taking off the A cush drive,how off is it?I am tempted to just throw it on with a chain an spin it to see what happens.But I wont do it if you guys are sure it wont work.

You should be able to just pull the sprocket carrier/cush drive out of the wheel, when the wheel is off the bike, its just the rubbers holding it in there. To get the bearing retainers out when/if you do wheel bearings, you have to drill out the places where it was staked, if it hasnt been done. You can tell by looking at the perimeter of the retainer, if it has 4 little dimples, they've got to be drilled, if there are four little holes, then its been done. Then, if you dont have a spanner, you can take two large drifts or punches, and hold them together with one hand, slide a large screwdriver between them, and use that to unscrew the retainer. Be careful to hold the drifts in the holes tightly, so that they dont pop out and muck up the retainer.... ;) But, its not necessary to remove the bearing retainers to pop the sprocket carrier/cush drive out. Hope this helps! Oh, and where in Washington are you located?

Its really easy actually . . . with the wheel off the bike, just grab the hub (side opposite the brake drum) and pull it out of the automatic's rim. take the hub out of the K bike rim and put it in the automatic. Mine just slid out, its not like you need a fancy tool.

UGH,thanks.The sprocket was already off,I didn't think of putting one on and pulling.That sounds easy enough.So obvious, now I feel stupid.

Really now. My girlfriend is from Ferndale, so I'm up that way quite often. It's also where my brother got his CB550's from...  :)
