New bronze bushes from Nurse Julie and probably an expensive collar from Honda plus new greas nipple, cheapest part and that will cure it.Yes the collar wears more than the plastic bushes!!!
There is a bolt that goes all the way thoughthe frame and swing arm, that goes through a thick walled steel tube that is "pinched" by the frame when the bolt is tight, the bushes in the swing arm pivot on the outside of this tube.This tube is called a collar by Honda and is same on 750, 550 and 500.I could look up the part number for you but that would spoil your fun
Worth checking at local dealer as Dave Silver is Bout £95 inc.Yes Roo i agree, unfortunately every one i have ever took apart with play has the collar worn more than the bushes.The later 390 number part used on the F model that has the single grease nipple on the swing arm is discontinued, guess what------ you can use the early 300 one
