Rear Swingarm felt rings - CB750
« on: July 17, 2011, 02:49:22 PM »
So I'm making progress on my project - YAY!

I was putting the swingarm in and the felt rings disintegrated. I tried finding replacements but no luck. Are these crucial?? If not I'll just run the bike without them.

So it looks like I should buy some. I just took my swingarm off and sent it to Hondaman for bushings. There were no felt washers on my K1 at all? Is this normal?

My K1 has them . Once they get soaked with grease they repel water . Bike Bandit shows them as still available . $2.18 each .
