1981 CB650 lower shock bushing
« on: March 13, 2023, 11:07:41 AM »
Any idea where i can find these bushings in the US?  Part #52451-357-000.  Everywhere i check, they're unavailable.  Mine are fine but must be removed for swingarm powder coating.  The rubber or plastic part, they'll get baked.

The shock bushings in the swingarms survive powdercoating just fine, outside of it being hard to chip back off!
