Well folks
Used some and it’s very good on alloy cases, brings them up way better than solvol and apparently it seals as well so less often polishing

Expensive but very good and goes a long way

Would recommend

I always use Inox in Southampton

Good quality and service

I am not a purist and replaced my JIS with socket cap screws as I just prefer them

I have always used EBC on my bike and they always work well.  They have a tendency to squeal but that's when I know they are correctly adjusted.  The brake on these bikes is rather primitive but is more effective than it 'feels'.

I used EBC pads in an attempt to stop the squeal from my front brake and it didn’t help. But I saw a recent post talking about chamfering the edges of the pads which I did and squeal seems to have gone. I have no idea why this happens!!!!

Make sure you have the front tensioner the right way round. I had mine the wrong way and exactly the same problem. Also make sure you are inserting the cam from the rights hand side

All sorted and back together now

Thanks to Julie for the bushes and John Oldfield for the collar (ouch at £95)

Old ones came out with sheer brute force and Julies went in quite easily after sitting in freezer but still needed a few whacks with my lump hammer.

I had not come across this guy before, seems to have a lot of Honda old stuff.

I managed to get a swingarm collar from him that I couldn’t quickly find anywhere else

Thanks for all the help
Bushes on way from Nursey but do I HAVE to replace the collar or can I just change the bushes?
