The stock 750 speedometer drive is too big to allow the disc to mount up. Now you could go on the hunt for a CB 500-550 drive, but they are getting hard to find. So I came up with this solution.
This shiny cover will not be needed any more.
First remove the axle, rotor, and speedometer drive
This is the piece y0u need to modify.
I start by finding a socket that fits into the hole, and then clamp the socket down, so that I can spin the drive around on the socket.
I then set up my Dremel with a cutting wheel, and put a screw into the work bench to rest the Dremel against, so that it does not move while cutting. The black dirt mark is a perfect place to make the cut.
I then spin it round, and round while the Dremel gradually cuts. It took about 7 discs to cut all the way through. Also be sure to wear gloves. This thing gets hot!
Then drill an 1/8 inch hole in it. This is what it will look like.
Now clean up the back side of the drive, and the mounting surface of the wheel. Then mix up some JB Weld.
Now JB Weld the drive to the wheel using the axle to hold the piece in position.
