No worries. Just wish I had a better camera with me. Even stills from the video are better to show how much these guys are wrestling with the bikes an unthinkable speeds:

OK thanks for the responses. I guess I will change them whilst I already have the swingarm dismantled. Anyone know where I can get the parts or why the one I listed above wouldn't fit?

Cheers,
Tim

Cheers Bitsa. Glad to hear I'm in the right place. Took reference pictures during dismantling then went and lost my phone right before I start to put it back together  :o  so the expertise here will be very helpful.

CB500/550 / Swingarm Bushing
« on: June 14, 2015, 12:01:24 PM »
I'm just prepping the swingarm ('71 CB500) to go to the powder coater and am trying to work out whether it's worth changing the bushings whilst it's all dismantled. Everything looks in reasonable nick and there is very little play if any. I know these things can be a bar-steward to get out but the stock parts wear pretty quickly apparently. Also not sure if the bushings were different on the K0? Does anyone know where I could get a good quality set of 1 piece bronze bushings like these for my swingarm:

Hey Noelia,

I guess you have sorted this now but will reply for anyone searching in the future. I think this is Aluminium Oxide, usually caused by water ingress. My number 4 float bowl was caked and I had the same difficulty getting rid. However, a QUICK brush with 15% hydrochloric and a thorough rinse completely removed it. I had before and after pictures but they were on the phone I lost (along with all my build pictures to date).

Hope this helps anyone in the same predicament.

Hi all,

Been a lurker for some time so thought it's time to introduce myself.
Got myself a '71 CB500 K0 spread about the garage and may need some help from you lovely folk to put it back together.  :-[

Cheers,
Tim
