That combo rear sprocket/brake rotor is awesome! I like how they tipped the tail pipe,too. I gotta research those sprocket/rotors! Too cool! Rotating mass reduction for Hackjob

Looks like a 16" Harley rear wheel, Harley catalogs have those sprocket-rotors. Seen them before. Not sure if you could adapt to a CB rear wheel or not though.

Thanks Mark That is not a really terrible price considering everything you get in that kit.

That's one beutiful bike.  Problem is I have lower back problems that are keeping me off my bike for awhile.  Every time I see a hard tail, I cringe a little.

Wouldn't the oil from the chain get on the disc surface?

It would if you use the wrong stuff for sure. No fling lube would probably do OK,but its chromechrome is already slippery. Just dont seem right

Isn't that an O-ring chain? Doesn't need lube right?

The o-rings keep the internal lube inside of the rollers,but you still have to lube the chain where the outside of the rollers contact the sprockets. Necessary evil Too bad the output shaft bearings on these bikes(SOHC,at least) won't support a belt drive conversion

Good point bud. Gates (the belt company) put alot of effort into belt conversions for the 750 sohc and failed. Doubt I could out do their resources. They were killing output shaft bearings,but they never upgraded from balls to needles. The other issue was belt width. The design of the frame wont allow a very wide belt/pulley to be installed. I dont mind moving frame tubes :) I just dont have access to the machines to produce the one off pulleys,nor can I afford to hire it done. It is still something I ponder on quite often. Especially when looking at hackjob. I always like to say failure is always an option-giving up is not!

Lol, that's pretty funny right there. I am sure you could just use a feeler gauge for your bearings or something like that, gotta remember that Gates would be trying to do an easy conversion kit so that everyone could buy one and slap it on, they weren't allowed to use redneck ingenuity

Ya aint gotta be southern to be redneck

Could you imagine if a company like that had a guy like you on their team? They'd all be like "It can't be done" and you'd be all like "Get me a 12 pack a beer some duct-tape and some feeler gauges an' I'll have 'er fixed 'fore sunset"
