Modern bikes do it too. It doesn't matter how expensive they are!

The only 500 bottom end I ever took apart had a two-piece with ball bearing too. That's the bike in the avatar.

But surely these parts cannot be rare, I've got a few kicking around in my workshop.
Get 'em on eBay. That's $100!

From .net:
As of this writing, CB500 clutch push rods are pretty much impossible to find anywhere. They come up on Ebay every now and then but sell for $50+. That's just stupid for something that may well break again...
So, between Shifter19 and Number13 (seeing a theme here?):
Measurements for a Honda OEM pushrod are:
10 1/8 inches or 257 mm long
3/8 inch in diameter or 9.5 mm
You can easily fashion a push rod from
3/8" steel rod found at any hardware store.
The shifter side end should be ground flat and square,
and the brake side end should be neatly rounded in a semi-sphere
to mate with the clutch basket. If you err, err on the side of a bit too
long since this will allow you to keep the lifter mechanism low and avoid cracking.
May also be a good idea to quench harden the ends.

There's a bit missing Bryan but it's understandable. Where did it come from?
Flc: I have a DOHC Manual if you want any wiring diagrams.

I wouldn't worry about copyright - it's 40 years old!
We have a large archive of such stuff on the .net site - that's where I'd save it with links from here.

I expect so.
Do you have pdfs that we could put in the archive?

Everyone is required by law nowadays to offer an "unsubscribe" option. It's not normally too visible but is always there.
I always use it.
Also beware of sites that require you to uncheck the option box. Most people don't.
Software upgrades are the worst. How many times have I forgotten to uncheck the "download Yahoo toolbar" or "Free Antivirus Check" boxes? Bastards!
