Where are the grease nipples for the swinging arm. I have counted 13 wrong parts and still counting ;)
Opps. just had a thought. There is only one grease nipple on the swinging arm ::)

Top left on the RHS panel on the 500. Basically in line with the helmet hook.

Woodside, sorry. It was me trying to wind up James but, it did not work.
Woodside, your 500 frame is a little different to my 500K0 frame. My frame has the helmet hook the rear of the side pannel.

Trigg sorry to ruin that ...I was sitting here thinking "my stickers there"? And worse "how did that hook get there?
Then I thought we might have another "where should that go" thread like I started last week?

To be entirely honest I've never been 100 % sure..
Perhaps now is the time to be told.....I've only had it 3-4 years???..it's the one I bum about on and use during the winter ....it's smothered in acf50 and gets a good clean when the grime builds up ?
K2 1975?

I suppose we all get picky when we see eBay sales and TBF they are quite often not so bad really. Not everyone is as picky as us and wouldn't notice minor differences. They just have not yet contracted the deadly originality disease yet. Bit of a cheek pinching DK's spiel though. Can imagine the seller saying in a Robbie Williams (god forbid) accent .. "Very very  narce  ..  meethinkxt ...Come on.. get bidding". You will have to watch DK's YouTube videos to get that one !!  ;D     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxOtpX4XRFg  BTW it's all for fun as they did me a cracking good deal this week plus they haven't heard my accent :-[

Cheers .. AshD
