First let me say the parts I ordered are great quality. I purchased the wide wheel kit for my 1975 Honda CB750K. This mod is not for the faint of heart. I will list problems I encountered. First, I went with tire brand Michelin Commander II size was 150/70 B18. Here are some issues I encountered.
1. You cannot use your existing brake rod the runs from the brake drum to brake pedal because the tire width causes the rod to rub. I had to fabricate my own bracket. 2. The chain will rub the aluminum cover on the small sprocket because of the sprocket offset. I had to modify to make it not rub.
3. You cannot put the chain guard back on the bike because it will not fit because of the offset spacer on the rear sprocket.
4. Once installed the chain is very close to touching the inside of the rear shock. My does not rub at all but it is very close.
I’m not a professional mechanic and I’m sure someone could have done it better, but as a guy who has grown up riding and working on bikes this is what I encountered.
The wheel and tire look fantastic! Really give the bike a fat look on the rear end! If you’re looking for an easy conversion this wasn’t my experience.
Very well finished goes together easily no problems well worth getting money well spent
