cb750-1 build/entry : part 3

On my pre-rebuild test drive I noticed a lot of movement from the rear end. The swing arm moved about 0.5 inches sideways! So, out it came, got a quick sand blast and powder coat. The swing arm bushings were badly worn, and the rusty swing arm shaft needed attention, too. Instead of buying new bushings I used a piece of scrap Delrin and turned them on my lathe. After de-rusting and polishing the shaft, I pressed the bushings into the swing arm, and sized the Delrin bushings with an adjustable reamer to the shaft dimensions.
