Swing arm pivot bolt

(1/4) > >>

Erwin83:
I'm a bit baffled.
I'm putting together a 350f.
While mounting the swing arm, I found the bolt (axle) to be way too long.. How?

I have a lot of CB400f parts laying around, as I parted 2 of them out in the last decade or so, but to my understanding, a CB400f doesn't even have an axle with grease nipples like this, let alone one so much longer.

Diameter (14mm) is spot on for the frame and swingarm by the way.

Any idea what bolt/axle I have here? CB500 potentially?

Lenght is 32,5 cm not counting both grease nipples.

Do the footpegs mount on the outside?

Erwin83:
No, that's on the lower rear engine mount. Couple cm lower.
Also visible on the photo.

Are there CB's where the footpegs attach to the swingarm?

Yes, early 400/4's

Ok, that could explain it. than I must have a swing arm axle of an early cb400f. I never had any larger CB's in the garage...

Are these axles rare, or should I just tap thread and cut it shorter?
