F&K rear hubs
« on: January 27, 2006, 04:12:57 AM »
Hi!

Does anyone know, CB 750 F&K rear hubs have same dimensions (diameter, etc, exept brake system)?

Thank you!

I just replaced an 77 550F hub and tire on my 72 500 The hub is a little wider and had to get a wheel spacer from a 750 to line up the sprockets. I thought the F's  had mags and the K's had spoke's

All I can add here is that the rear brake unit for the 78 will fit into the hub of a K bike (in my case a 1972). I just did this at the weekend.

Spoke sizes between the drum and disc hubs are slightly different (about 2mm from memory)
Buchanan's supply the same spoke set for both wheels, but cunningly use a slightly longer nipple than standard to get over the problem.

The difference being the K's had Drum brakes and F's had Disk brakes.
