Partially Restored 74 CB550
Oddjob:
Should be fairly solid. Which end did you put the spindle nut on? speedo end or disc end.

Did you put the nut on with the sixsided end pointing IN?

Ahaaaa! That’s sorted it. Many thanks. What a very counterintuitive arrangement with the nut on the inside but once you’ve made a twit of yourself forgetting how it came apart it won’t happen again 👍😂

Good day today.
Starter gear stripped without problems using impact driver and new damper rubbers fitted. There was some slop with old dampers now it’s all solid so a job worth doing.
Got the dampers and 18 new shells from impex in Japan which kept the costs of shells down to significantly less than more local options. The big ends were all replaced with the available green or brown and my measuring must have been ok because they all came in well within spec when Plastigauged at 30 - 40 micron. So pleasing to see the immaculate smooth new shells in there when their predecessors were like a ploughed field. First time I have used Plastigauge and it gave me consistent results so I now have full confidence in the reshelled big ends.
