Worst oil consuming Honda i rode was a Black 750 F2 that on the way to I.O.M was using 1 pint every 350 miles, over there it dropped to 1 pint every 250 miles so i brought it home early(shop bike) pulled it expecting shattered rings and destroyed pistons, nopeso pulled head apart and found 4 worn out exhaust guides with 1 destroyed stem seal, mileage from memory about 20,000 aged about 2 years

I think the one bearing is a 6304 which is a 20mm bore as standard. AI is about as usefull as a chocolate fire guard

There are two different hub/brake plate combinations, from memory there is a difference on the outer diameter and i think you can swap one way but not the other just to confuse it.
What you need to do is sort out the sprocet side spacing to get the chain in line then work out what length you need for the other side.
If you want to keep it "standard" easy way is complete rear wheel with axle, brake plate and spacers but to use it safely all you need to do is work out what size spacers you need

Now i am willing to be shot down but is it the correct swing arm?
There are two different ones and without my stored parts books i cant say which is which.
1 has closed ends where the rear wheel spindle has to be completely removed to get wheel out
2 has removable brackets at the ends so the wheel stays complete to remove
I simply do not remeber which type the F is but i do know the spacers are different, also the brake plate and hub although shoes are the same.
Complete wheel assemblies can be swapped bike to bike but not the individual bits except sprockets

You have to get your terminology correct if you want the right parts.
That picture is for CB 550 K bikes, the F model had stickers and different shape panels.
The F in the badge is the first letter of Four and not the model designation

I agree its easy when apart. I use small cable tie on the spring to pull down onto the small bar, course that will be lots more difficult if you want to attach it to the ring

Rather than a different spring it has been suggested to use a split ring on the end pivot effectively shortening the spring, only downside is its in such a bugger of a possition to do

If you rebuild a Merc V6or8 in an HGV you have to pressurise the oil system as the pump will not self prime
