Side panel grommets

<< < (2/10) > >>

Johnny4428:
I bought a set for the 550 when I restored it, I ended up fitting the old ones couldn’t get the panel located in the new rubbers. Just absolute crap!

Sesman:
That’s certainly how I would describe the ones I bought.  :D

I was  in a hurry rebuilding my cb500/4 when it came to this part of the job, so I just grabbed a trade box of wiring grommets and some vaseline and used the closest generic size, first few time fitting the sidepannels and removing them they were tight and easily pushed right through the frame when fitting, but after a few long rideouts they have bedded in and seem to fit ok now. Enough so as I'm not in a hurry to go searching for the originals that are doubtless age  hardened- in fact I remember they were a right pain to live with back in the past because of that.

Sesman:
Aye, know the type. I have a plan…..

When I swaped them for pattern ones on the 750 I had to lube them to get the panal on and then catch the left hand panal in mid flight on the A14
