CB500/4 Countershaft Bearing dimensions.

That's good news Oddjob, my contact has just asked how many do I need! I'm still waiting to hear back! If they have got them I expect they will be a similar price.
The next thing is they mentioned that they could consider getting these bearings made as a run. They couldn't tell me a price for that yet, but it wouldn't be too high, minimum run though is 1000 pieces.
Next question is how many forum members want one of these bearings? Actually want, rather than would like? I know you and I want one, and I think Ash would want one too, I'll wait to hear from the bearing factors Monday, and keep you posted.
Regards
Nigel.

What's wrong with your original bearing Nigel. Has the engine done high miles? Mine has done 22k and by the looks of the top end it's been looked after so kind of hoping I won't need that bearing. Or are they prone to failure on the 500? What I did with my CB750K0 was to buy a really low mileage gearbox / primary sprocket assy. which cost me about 70 quid after customs, shipping etc (in fact I bought two so if anyone wants to buy one for what I paid).

Hi Ash, sorry for the delay in replying to your question, there's nothing wrong with my bearing, but I have the chance to get some made, by a bearing manufacturer, In small quantities. They want a bearing to measure before they quote, and I was a bit reluctant to send them my only bearing. I've sourced a scrap countershaft with the bearing on it, which they will have later this week, and I'm waiting to hear what they will cost. If they're reasonable I'll get some made.
Regards,
Nigel.

Picked up a Genuine Honda 91001-283-000 today and he confirmed it is centre grooved. Guess I need to check with him it's 57 mm Dia before he ships it as a bit confused as it doesn't have the -003 suffix. given in the Cb500/4 manual and is listed for a CB450 up to CB500T. Are you out there Nigel and Oddjob (Ken). May not even need one but with the rarity factor I thought I would take a punt as it was in the UK.
