So here is the deal - I bought a 78' CB550K a few months ago that had Comstars installed. The previous owner made some modifications to the bike in order to make the Comstars fit (welded tabs in swingarm, different axles, drum, disc, speedometer sensor,...) and now I am trying to go back to OE spoke wheels and I have to undo his changes. The front went on no problem with the right axle, speedometer sensor, and brake disc, but the rear wheel does not seem to be behaving as nicely. When the rear is all assembled, the castle nut does not thread onto the axle far enough (there is a spacer/bearing on the sprocket side that sits partly inside the hub that seems to be taking up the required space that's needed to sufficiently thread the castle nut on. It came with the wheel I bought, not the axle).
Here are the OE parts for the rear that I ordered - 77' 550F wheel, 78' 550K drum, and 78' 550K axle with both chain adjusters, 1 spacer, and a castle nut.
Is there anything wrong with the setup I am trying to fit? Is the issue that my bike is a 78' 550K and the wheel I bought is off of a 77' 550F? Like I said, I had no issue with the front and I used the same setup - 77' F wheel and 78' K axle.
Any input you provide will help.
Thanks
