I was looking for a 500 front hub for my racer and a mate knew an old bloke with lots of 500 parts laying around.....so over we go to old mates place and he has a complete front end, triples, forks, hub, wheel, disc.....$100 the lot...
My mate Dave (forum member Dave500) looking at the hub says, hey that speedo drive is on the wrong side. I didnt think anything about it at the time as the wheel didnt have a disc on it I knew the hub had been dismantled and shoved back together, but everything was there, so no big deal.
Couple days later when I get a chance to look things over I find out why the speedo drive was on the wrong side.
It was hiding this:
Some #@%%*head had taken to it with a grinder
Seems they couldnt get the dust seal out and thought, I know, I'll grind it out.
Anyhow turns out the old bloke doesnt know have the stuff hes got and didnt realise the hub was rat#$%*. I pick up another hub from him on wednesday.
