CB500/550 / 550 Wheel rebuild

« on: November 23, 2016, 07:29:33 AM »

Hi all,

Not sure if this is answered anywhere else, but I am getting my wheels rebuilt. I have purchased new Excel rims with new spokes. The hubs where all cleaned up and vapour blasted and look the business now.

Now my question is there a offset for the rim to the hub or are they just down the centerline? I got the bike mostly in pieces the wheel were already taken apart.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,

You are fantastic, yes they are. For some reason I thought bolts went through, but wrong there. This is great news I can get on with joining the case together.

Once again, thanks,

Hi all, I am new to this and need a little help. I am currently rebuilding a 1977 cb550 k3 and turning it into a cafe racer. I have currently got most of the engine back from vapour blasting and have been doing a dry fit of all the internals to make sure there are no spare parts left over before I glue up the case.

Well I have two dowel pins which I can not find a home for. They are solid and measure 10mm x 16mm. I have two already located in the engine case towards the carb side of the crank, but I can not find where the other two go.

Any help would be much appreciated. Any further information just let me know
