Topic: rear cush drive

[dave500]

i see the rear rubber cush drive is discontinued for the 500 on the david silvers site,anyone know where they might be able to be found anywhere else?its a two piece rubber affair per drive lug,ill try some 550 ones i have here,they are joined by a strip.

Could be wrong, but they look similar to those on the CB750. Perhaps others know if the two bikes shared similar hubs.

I haven't had my rear wheel out for a while, but from memory they are joined too? I have been wrong once before..........

[dave500]

yeah this pair look identical apart from the umbilical cord bit and the lack of the spear barb on the locating spikes.

[petercb750]

Is it all possible that the joining bit could be cut off without compromising the cush effect?

[dave500]

the joined pair came from a 550 hub,must be some kind of improvment,itll have less part numbers aswell?ill try it out and see,im getting a new rear tyre so i did the shoes aswell,there seemed to be a bit of wobble in the carrier even though the ring nut was tight,backlash seemed non existant.
