Someone on the old forum fitted a Goldwing wheel with disc brake to his Silverwing. Anyone recall who that was?
Thanks,

Not Charles' new project. There was someone who did it in the last year or two. Somewhere around Chicago, I think.I think Charles just did that, didn't he? It's not a GL, but he put the GL swingarm on the CX...
I remember seeing it before as well, just don't remember who.
Thanks,
Splines are the same. The dust shield conflicts. I believe Murray removes a little material from the flange on the wheel hub.
Unless he's changed his technique, he shims the axle with a thin-wall tube, and adds a stop to the CX swing arm to hold the GL1000 brake caliper.
When I was pursuing this mod, I was intending to use the stock brake plate stay on the GL500, but I didn't get far enough to know if it works.
Any photos of the axle shim/completed mod? Also curious on where/how you mounted the master cylinder. I'm looking to do this in the next few months if possiblei have also used other calipers and rotor as the gold wing rotor is huge
and on a bike like the cx or gl looks to big so i have cut it down and made my own brackets
nothing to see on the axle mod its 2 pieces of shim tubing pressed into the bearings and brake panel for the axle to go through
i will see if i can dig up some pictures
Ahhh yes! That's perfect! This is exactly what I'm trying to do and it's a HUGE help. Is that the CB900c Brake stay you're using?i will see if i can dig up some pictures so you can copy er visually learn from them

Shouldn't need an axle mod anymore, the bearings are now available. 5-5220 or 328-2RS are 15x52x16 and the 5-4712 bearing is a 15x47x14. These are readily available on eBay, from US sellers and bearing supply places. The left side bearing is 1mm thicker than the original 20x52x15, but that shouldn't make much difference at all.nothing to see on the axle mod its 2 pieces of shim tubing pressed into the bearings and brake panel for the axle to go through

Won't the spacers need to be shortened?The left side bearing is 1mm thicker than the original 20x52x15, but that shouldn't make much difference at all.
