Swingarm bushings

Noelia:
Hi all,

I need to replace the swing arm bushings in my cb500 four

Since I'm changing them I would like to put something is going to last.

Any recommendations? I read the original ones are very bad quality? Are the bronze better?

Thanks!!

Its not bushes that are poor quality its owners that do not grease them often enough!!

Noelia:

Installation is no problem, is getting the old ones out that is!! Also you will find that no matter which you fit a new pivot pin will be needed as the pin wears more than the bushes---sit down when you look up the price tho'

JamesH:
Bryan - do you pre-soak Phosphor Bronze bushes in just general engine oil (10w/40) prior to installation?
