CB500T Swingarm onto CB500/4 Frame?
« on: November 08, 2013, 03:53:04 pm »
Hey everyone, I need a swingarm for my 73 CB500/4 and have found one from a CB500T online? Will this fit my frame as they look identical from pictures but i can't be 100% sure just from looking at the pictures!

Thanks
Brad

Check the part numbers to see if they are identical .  I use Ronnie's parts and look up the exploded view for both bike and compare numbers

They have different part numbers:
500T / 52110-375-000B
500K2 / 52100-323-040B  So it is hard to say if it will work.

This guy has one on craigslist which will work.  Good guy to work with  http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/4128546727.html

Good luck

550 four is identical
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).
