Title: Back brake deflection shaft
Post by: Allington (Steve) on November 12, 2018, 02:41:59 PM

Hi guys, on the CB500 is the back brake deflection shaft painted do you know? The one on mine is painted with quarter inch thick black Hammerite  :(

May be wrong,  but I thought all of them were zinc (or looking like cadmium) possibly yellowish tint plated originally.

I think you are right. I think most Japanese bikes were back then but this one is so caked in Hammerite ‘dip’ I just couldn’t picture it.

This part is unpainted on my 1974 UK spec CB500K1.
