Bloody weird....I have just looked at my CB400/4 (standard closed end swing arm) and my nut is on the sprocket side but, I can still get my spindle out as I have a standard exhaust system fitted and there is enough clearance over the silencer to pull the spindle out with the exhaust still fitted. My shocks are also standard length, anything shorter than standard, I don't think there would be enough clearance to pull the spindle through.
Scrap that..my 400 does have an open end swing arm 🙄🙄🙄🙄 So, it doesn't matter which way the spindle goes in. (I was looking at the wrong bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

For what it's worth, I have 400 with fixed rear footrests, closed ends swinging arm. Nut is on RH (brake) side, when assembling, push spindle through from sprocket side and when enough thread is showing start turning nut and use this to pull rest of spindle through. On the spindle I am using at the sprocket end it has a hole whereby you can use a small tommy bar/screwdriver to hold the spindle while you tighten the nut, would not be able to use this if it was at brake end. Little bit of care needed when inserting split pin into castrated wheel nut. Sorry Julie, but speaking as one who made an absolute pig's breakfast once of trying to fit shox that were too long, that's when everything fouls up. Always carefully measure between fixing centres of shox before trying to fit, can't give proper measurement at moment, as it's absolutely precipitating down outside, and the pizza and beer are ready.
