Usually you find the collar more worn than the bushes, the early one is still available, but bloody expensive, the later one is not available but you can use the early one, preferably with the bolt having a grease nipple at each end rather than the one in middle of swing arm

As my wife suffers from ME what annoys us is the symptoms are VERY similar but ME sufferers get no help at all, long covid seems to be getting lots of help

Desperately Seeking!! / 1978 CB750F2 center stand stop braxket
« Last post by Billd on Today at 04:45:21 PM »
I'm in need of the stop bracket for the centre stand that limits it's retracted position. It bolts to the right side foot peg mounting aluminium bracket. The stop bracket just bolts in place and has a rubber bumper on it as well. If anyone had one they would sell PM me please.

I heated the end of the swingarm and just knocked out the bush with a long steel rod. Came out pretty easy, no cutting.

Are you refering to the short bushes that used to be plastic (Julies are Brass) or the long Center Collar shown in the parts book diagram as item 13 p/n 52141-300-000 a hefty £103.22  from DS?

Misc / Open / All gone now 😢😢😢

The last of all the Honda fours Graham has restored over the past few years, went to its new owner yesterday, the UK model 500K0. Keep an eye around the Bristol area, you may see it about.
That leaves us with 6 riding bikes between us, our own bikes, which we intend keeping.
It feels quite empty here now, not enough  bikes to trip over or navigate around in the garage / workshop / house.
