Doms CB550F1 project
Oddjob:
I seem to recall there is a hole in the frame on the 500 but at this moment I can't remember where. TBH though, the welded parts, because they aren't seam welds, I'd say the frame doesn't really need them. The swinging arm always had them though but the amount that get those holes blocked by rust flakes etc is high. This topic is odd because not that long ago I did the shaking thing on one of my swinging arms, heard that rattling sound and decided I would stop that, took me about 40 mins to get it all out via the drill hole, the more you shake the arm the smaller the flakes get and they'll drop through the hole after a while.
I bought a basting syringe for meat, that has a small hollow metal needle, I'll fill the syringe with Zinc182 paint, fill the swinging arm till it's full, then allow it to drain through the holes, after that I'll fill with Waxoyl and allow that to drain. That should stop any future rust from developing. For me it's about ensuring the frame etc last as long as possible, I may do the same with the frame tubes if I an find a suitable entry point.

I definitely have rust flakes in the swingarm bracing
DomP:
What's the difference in these part numbers? Same screws but one lot are quite a bit more expensive
Oddjob:
B is chromed.
G is black
Also an A which is BZP.
There is one with no letter, probably plain steel
DomP:
Oh thanks Ken!
