🎬 Honda CX500 cafe racer build. SO2. Ep 02. Final Drive Full Service. 🏁

🏍 The CX500 cafe racer build, Final Drive assembly full service. This took a while to finish, mainly due to sourcing parts, waiting for powder coating etc. Mistakes where made, but then rectified the best I could do. So look at this as a guide for things to look out for if you decide to undertake it. ▶️

Did you get the oringfor the drive splines shaft.
If so, do you have the number. Or the original sizes.
Thanks.

Hi Ian, I probably miss that part, did you remove also the short shaft with conical gear out of the transmission case body?, did you also change the conical bearing inside of it?

Hi, No I couldn't find new bearings anywhere for the pinion, so bought a used case with the pinion gear and x2 bearings already installed, it was a lot better than the original which had 45000km on it. The old bearing was binding and worn. I might revisit this in the future, but I needed to get this part done and move on with wheels and frame.

@@aircraftengineerstoolbox2560 it happened to me, couldn't find that bearing either (after I removed it from the case) had to apply heat, so keep in mind when revisiting that probably needs to be repainted 😅

Obviously no reply from you.
