I suspected that the nearly new Honda plastic? swingarm bushes were to blame but they seem ok if the swingarm is pulled about with the wheel removed.
Hub wear is common with these old alloy hubs after a few bearing changes.
I need to measure the clearance to check it's not too much then lock it in with a bearing retaining liquid.

Never understood why they fitted plastic bushes in the first place, what is wrong with tapered bearings like they use on the Dresda swinging arms.
hairygit:
From an engineering viewpoint, taper rolers are less than ideal in that application, they work best in full rotation such as car wheel bearings etc. Even in steering head bearings they are compromised, but far easier to deal with than loose balls>:D

Thought the original bushes were plastic.
You probably have the HONDA shop manual already Julie .... but just in case or for others I bunged in into Dropbox here below:-
Got my knuckles wrapped last night by Bitsa for mentioning rubber tubes again .. so sorry for that :-[

Cheers .. AshD
Nurse Julie:
Thanks Ash. Im sure the original were plastic but sometime in the past the bike has been completley stripped as the frame has been powder coated. I assume the brass one's were put in as part of the rebuild, I only changed them again because I have the back end out to do the chain and sprocket.
