Bronze Swingarm Bushings
« on: April 24, 2011, 10:40:28 AM »
Hey guys, Happy Easter.

So springs here and its time to work on the bike again. I want to replace my swingarm bushings on my K5 750. Since Hondaman recommended the 841 "Oilite" bushings, I figure I'll invest in those, but so far I haven't had any luck finding a supplier.

I've talked with M3, and apparently the aftermarket bushings they offer are made out of SAE 660, which isn't oil impregnated.

Anybody know of one that sells 841 bearings?

Parts N More has oilite bushings. I made my own, and am pretty happy with the result. Hondaman makes them absolutely bomber...if you have the money, he is the way to go.

I took a look and it didn't really specify what they were made out of, in fact it didn't give much info at all. It just showed a picture of bronze-like bushings. Also that site isn't to clear on the different models. They list both a CB750 and a CB750K, which confuses me.

I'm a bit wary of ordering from places like those that don't give you much info. Seems a bit shady.

Okay, I'm not having too much luck finding them on my own, so how much does Hondaman's rebuild service cost?

Here's the link to his service. You may need to PM him for up to date pricing.
