CB400 Swing arm Collar
Green1:
Needles are a stupid idea. I have just replaced the rear shock on my dads Triumph and all linkages were rusted and gummed up even after being greased often. I am just in the process of stripping the Guzzi and every shock linkage bolt was seized in and every needle bearing was solid rust. I am now waiting for a new socket to arrive so I can remove the swingarm bolt I don't expect to see anything salvageable.
As mentioned above they are the wrong type of bearing for that kind of application

What about the Triumph and that hasn't been abused like the Guzzi.

There was a good reason why Honda killed off the Brit bike industry, quality, which even the modern Triumphs appear to lack!

I beg to differ the overall finish on my Hondas is crap but they work I will give you that.
The Hinckley Triumphs finish is brilliant even with almost 90k on the clock it cleans up nice and the plastics are still strong.
