Dual discs on a '78 550K?
« on: October 27, 2011, 05:52:06 AM »
 I was in the middle of collecting parts to do a dual disc conversion on my '78 550K and Rangelov informed me that the speedo drive adapter won't work with '78 hubs.
 I had seen something about this but it was in reference to CB750 hubs and mentioned "very late '78 bikes", so I didn't think too much of it.

 What's different about the hubs? Is it possible to do a dual disc setup on a '78?

 So, I'm told all is not lost. A few ways to do it; modify the disc hub OR the wheel hub OR the driver. Still trying to find a "how-to", but my search is coming up empty. Lots of pics of the finished product, not much info on what they're doing, how or why.

 Can anyone tell me how to make this link work?:

 It's mentioned on several threads and is in the FAQ's, but when I try to open it all I get is the home page .
