Rear hub dampers
« on: June 14, 2023, 12:18:34 PM »
I’m having a hard time finding the rear rubber dampers for my k5 750. Anyone know where to find them? Everywhere I’ve tried is either back ordered or can no longer get them. Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!!

Did you try South Sound Honda? Or putting the numbers in ebay search?

Yep, South Sound Honda called me earlier and had to refund my payment because they didn’t have them and can no longer get them. Only thing that shows up on eBay are used ones. I’m still looking. Thanks!!

Don't forget to use your Honda dealer locator service. Works good for me on my 76 GL1000.

There are only two Honda dealers within 50 miles of me and I live outside B’ham, Alabama!! And I hate to say it, but they both suck!!! Couldn’t care less about vintage bikes. No wonder so many companies have gone out of business. So, it’s the internet and great folks like the members of this forum that keep the vintage bike brotherhood operating!! Thanks all!!!
