CB Dropped Spindle steering knuckles Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2016 10:36 am     Views: 72      Rating: Not rated

I got the CB disc brake conversion kit with dropped spindles. These caused a huge headache with the Mahle "Gas Burner" wheels as the lower balljoint would foul on the wheel rim (!). Ended up using a reamer to open up the balljoint socket (is that the right word?) by a few mm to get the required clearance. Done even to both sides of course. After this I was able to get the kit installed. I got the idea from this thread here:

and got the same reamer that the poster there did, an XCUT #5912.
