Rear Wheel Rubber Dampers
Oddjob:
Really bad and the grooves are almost gone. Yours isn’t fantastic but it may suffice. Remove the damper rubbers and fit the carrier with the retainer tightened. Check to see how much movement you get then. A new set of rubbers will help take up some of the movement so long as there isn’t a lot to start with.

OK, I'll try that and see how i get on. I guess a second hand replacement in good condition may be difficult to find. there is one on Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/128050526747?_skw=cb550+rear+wheel+flange&itmmeta=01M1HKMSMVJQC1YMY99GX67WTG&hash=item1dd067fa1b:g:tY8AAeSwbS9qksm4&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xD1DiVzOs6d%2FBfLWg1LVd4ahzecGPJXxq4JXqnwR%2B4xtoHFCMH%2BUl4jORMvn67kVnCYqdWNhG1GKB7pGtKS%2FGcfyZ6HMdYOYVCp5MSs5Qy7mtYlONBTWo151BlXfTbAjWx2iSmylFL%2FBbdSxwzEgyxJRdZVDMASydl6l1LfGheB2dI3LKK%2F5C3pS2mrkN8HZVLI1cvkKA7Z7NHSAQrJpkuuNNKdn7tkNiDXybwVjgFqmDgZugIFUCVkzllhMlSI9GExTnosxB8XmTZi9x8GyqWo0L4ouQwweRV2gIt0yxmbGA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-ya07OMaA, but i cant tell the condition.
Bryanj:
Problem is Hondas were so damed reliable that nobody ever took the retainer out so it never got re greased!!
Oddjob:
For the price I would buy that. Dirt cheap for what it is.
