Swingarm year?
« on: October 29, 2017, 09:46:13 AM »
Can anyone confirm that this swingarm is a CB750 K1 swinger.  I’m thinking, looking at the axle section that it may be a later model but not entirely sure.  Anyone more in the know have any ideas?

Has it got a grease nipple underneath ? Looks like a K swing arm. The later arm has the nipple in the pic [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

No nipple Trigger so I'm guessing I've got an old style swingarm

It looks a lot like my k1 swingarm no nipples as there in the frame.

Brilliant, looks like I potentially have a K1 swingarm to marry up to the K1 frame.

Thanks for the intel guys, really appreciate it

make sure you have the right swing arm bolt that has the nipples in the ends  ;)

Missus?  Nipple?  Marry up?
