Thanks for the info, who sells the bronze bushes and what sort of price?

I suppose if the collar is worn, i could get bronze bushes made to fit the worn collar?

CB500/550 / MOT advisory, slight free play in swing arm
« on: February 12, 2018, 05:12:05 PM »
My imported 74 550 passed its first UK MOT today with only the one advisory.

The swing arm can be rocked left to right very slightly, does this mean new bushes etc or is there any kind of adjustment that can be carried out?

Just had a look at mine (74 K0).

You wont be able to get at the lock easily as its bolted to the frame under the seat.

What might be possible is if you feel upwards towards the seat, either side of the seat plunger that engages with the lock there are 2 10mm nuts that bolt the plunger to the seat. I think with a small ratchet you can get at them.

Cheapest place for spark plugs is Euro Car parts.

Type in 408774560 in the search box at the top for D7EA plugs, they are £2.69 each and with one of their codes they always give out even cheaper.

Got 4 last week for £6.99

Humour / My missus is in Casualty
« on: January 31, 2018, 09:19:46 PM »
Got a text from the wife saying she was in Casualty.

When I got home I watched all 50 minutes of it, never saw her once.

She still hasn't come home yet.

I'm starving  :-\

I wonder if these brackets are the reason I nearly snap my spine every time I try to put her on the center stand?

So I can just remove them and bolt the shock straight to the swing arm?
