550 rear brake plate
« on: December 27, 2023, 06:03:52 PM »
Can I ask the experienced members on here whether this style of brake plate from a 550 fits both the K and F models?  I'm aware of the other style with raised flanges leading to the control arm but I can't see why the type in the photo couldn't fit both models.  Mine on my 550F has had a big lump snapped off it so needs replacing.

F1 probably, F2 or K3 no. Looks to be the same as the 500K which did supercede to the 550F1 part number.

I dont know when or why they changed i just know there are 2 different hubs snd brake plates which will fit any model if kept as pairs but the plates will not transpose between hubs

Mine is an F1 so there is a chance then.  I'll look at any codes cast into the inside on mine and compare them.  Thanks Ken/Bryan!
