Nothing embarrassing about your approach ash. I'm more embarrassed about selling a bike to you in that state!!!
AshimotoK0:
No need to be embarrassed James .. well chuffed with it .. it's generally much better than I thought and it means I will now own one of the first 20 batch of UK CB750K0's and a CB500K0 from the first month of production. I just have to show you inside the point cover .. a real Ashimoto setup.
Not sure on the bearing yet Ken , I just got the retainer out and then got on with my day job. I will post as soon as I get it out.

Removed bearings tonight both made by NTN Ken (Oddjob).

Sometimes the parts book would say what make they were as standard but I've just looked and it doesn't. Might be right but I don't think so. I think maybe they were Koyo bearings as standard.
Oh found the front disc today BTW, just need to remove it. Might have a look and see what bearings are in that wheel as it looks like it's never been touched, thought it might have been the wheel where I'd had the rim rechromed and used chromed spokes but these look standard. Disc will need a good cleanup Ash but it is undrilled.

Yes bearings actually looked pretty good (will change anyway) and previous signs of removal of retainer, so probably changed by PO. Disc sounds good.. any look with finding the 3-hole rear guard please Ken ?

Interesting, are all fenders supposed to have the studs in the top mounts, or is that a K0 thing?
I only know those with weld-in nuts and M6 bolts coming from the top...
