CB500/550 / Dual Disc Conversion
« on: January 18, 2019, 10:28:13 PM »
Hi guys, I'm sure this has been covered before but I literally can't find it in the search the answer I need.
I have a 1978 CB550 K3, I'm doing the Dual Disc setup. Both forks have exactly the same mounting positions and dimensions all the same. If I put both discs on my Hub which is Asymmetrical, so the RH disc sits 3mm Closer to the Spokes, from outer edge of the Disc to the other is 124mm. (I always thought a 3mm spacer might be needed.
Now on my calipers the measurement from the inner edge of the Piston side to the other piston side on the LH is 124mm.
Does all this sound right or should I be using spacers on the mounting points or what? I have the Mudguard bracket on but it's on the outside of the caliper bracket ATM and not inside next to the fork. I obviously don't want to be pulling the lever and ending on my head first time.
Thanks in advance
