Look for someone in your area that makes gear cogs, that can help with your problem. I had some dogs welded and heat treated some time ago and they worked very well with the new cogs that they made  ;)

Ebay US  and you will find CB 350 twin parts there, if you have to buy a complete box just tell the seller to ship the selector drum and forks and bin the rest

That only sorts out the middle fork mate  ;) The right one was only fitted to the 500 four.

I know the other two dont fit but they can be got nos it is just easier to ask the seller for all three and they frequently leave them on the drum which is the same as 500.

Those two links are the same seller but carriage might be high as you can only get airmail now.

I have almost a complete NOS gearbox for the 500 including 2 NOS selectors but not sure which they are, one is certainly the centre one but the other could be left or right. I could look if your interested.

If you have a parts book list part numbers instead of descriptions as it avoids confusion.


I was waiting for you Ken  ;D ;D ;D

What can I say, I still have loads of parts in the loft
Good thing you do Ken. I know many people would have been at a loss without your roof top Parts Department full of rare parts 👍👍👍

At least it is only the finger mate, it's when you have the DVLA thumb you have problems  ;D

One thing to check that i just thought of is that when the shafts are in the case do any have excess movement along the shaft as there are several washers in there that could possibly break(even if i havent seen it) and/or been misplaced or lost on a previous stripdown.

The only gear with any excessive play is the 1st gear on the layshaft, all others (the fixed ones) seem to have their respective circlips and washers and feel ok.
Selector forks ordered from ebay
Looking for 4th gear L/S and L/S gear
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I cant remember which gear but there is one that must be fitted with its mating gear on the other shaft as the tooth profile was changed in production. The only way i found out was when i tried to get one decades ago and was told it was superceeded and came as a pair. Sorry cant be more help
