@CPH007 Well, because I was in a friendly mood (and you never know when you might need the help of someone that has access to CNC equipment, LOL, JK), let me know if this helps.

 

Help? That’s bloody perfect, thank you. Did you take the wheel out for this? If so I owe you one 👍

love the rear end on your bike, looks like from a newer bike.

thanks again, will knock up a spacer now or maybe 3

 

Yes, I took my F3 apart for this. Had to move the F4i to get to it as it's in front of it. BTW, my wife thought I was insane, she's probably right.

That is the standard rear end of an F3 in the US. They did not have the rear grab handle on them like in the UK.

Yes, you owe me... for sure.. LOL.

 

LOL I think she is right but appreciated as doing that for somebody you don’t even know 👍

One little job and now I’m rebuilding the back end of bike.

 

Well don't be shy about posting up some pictures of the progress.

 

No problem, think This may turn into a build thread 👍

Have front fork seals to do also so dreading what I will find there as well haha.

Have rear wheel and parts all
coming this week along with making up that spacer.

 

What's the condition of the Cush drive (the part the rear sprocket attaches to) ? With all that slapping around against the wheel I can't imagine it's in too good of condition either. Replacing that?

It's hard to beat ebay for replacing an item like that.

I was really surprised that the Cush drive hub is in good condition (the only thing that is)

 

Well the saga continues! I have all the parts to reassemble now but when sliding the bearings on the rear axle there is loads of slop. Checked measurement and axle is 0.1mm undersize which is a country mile by slip fit standards.

I can only assume somebody has given it the good news with Emery in the past and polished all the crud off along with the metal.

Honda no longer stock these so it’s a used or machine one.

Aside from that I have painted rear swing arm and mudguard ready for reassembly.

photos to follow once I get it reassembled.

 

@CPH007 Thanks for the update. We don't mind progress pictures too. Do I sound impatient... lol. Rear Axle sounds like a good machining task. Something that "This Old Tony" would do. There is always ebay naturally.
