Going to have the cb350f swingarm powdercoated soon what will i have to replace?  I read through old articles saying how you have to remove all the bushings and the rear shock bushings.  What will I have to replace and where would I find those parts?

thanks

While it is wise to replace bushings on old bike when doing this type thing if the old ones are in good shape they can be driven out and reused. The only ones I would be concerned with on this swing arm are the rubber shock bushings. The swing arm pivot bushings can be left in. Who is doing the coating? If I had the SA off I would go ahead and replace the factory pivot bushings with upgraded brass units.I have a spare new set for $39 if you want them.

Not sure yet just moved to Pasadena, California so I'll do some research on powdercoaters and see who is the best for the money.

I'm not sure you can even find 350F swingarm bushings and other associated parts.  Hondaman was doing swingarm rebuilds but that was for the 750s.

Yeah I saw that he does that just don't know it is necessary to do that labor when all I really want is the swing arm re powder coated

maybe I should just have the swingarm painted instead of power coated.  mechanically my swing arm seems fine.  I just wanted it looking pretty
