- How to remove and upgrade cb750 swing arm bushings. These bronze bushings were a significant improvement to my old Honda motorcycle's handling. The CB750K needed this DIY repair in order to pass safety inspection.
I did go about it in what ended up being a bit of a harder way though... as you'll see in the video.
The bushings were ordered from eBay. I am not affiliated with this seller whatsoever, HOWEVER, I do recommend them. The transaction was smooth and the shipping (from Germany) was very quick.

As usual, below is a list of parts/tools that I used. They're Amazon affiliate links and I do get a small commission from any sale that results from clicking on the link. 100% of that commission goes toward funding future video projects like this one!
*** In all honesty... this job just required basic hand tools for the most part. but here's a link to a bearing press/shop press if you need one of those...

Do as I say not as I do! Okay... it isn't that bad. I definitely could have made this job a lot easier with some better planning!
Dude, we need more vids!
Hey Mike! Found your videos looking for help on a 71 CB750 a friend and I are getting back on the road! This video came out the same day my friend got the motor to idle after a full top end rebuild. Thanks for your awesome content and keep it real!
That's great Owen! These are fun, simple old machines. I'm glad you guys got yours fired up and idling. 🤘
Great Video! Informative and entertaining. Have to go through the same with m'y cb550. Thanks
YAY, you're back!
And happy to be 😃
Mike, happy new year to you and your family. Looking forwards in seeing more videos in 2022. Hello from States.
Congrats on 6k!
Hey thanks for pointing this out. Craaazzzzy! Thank you!
This is so helpful! Regards from Sweden
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
This on my list of things to get done this month!
Excellent! Just take my advice and do it slightly different than I did 😂
@@Mike_Barker Haha my bike is in pieces so this will make it super easy to put it back together!
Awesome! It'll be super easy for you then.
Can't go wrong with a Brian cameo!
The gun show cometh Tim. The. Gun. SHOW.
I'm so glad I found this channel. I just picked up a 80 cb750f. You sir are a legend. I'm looking to paint my engine black, do you have any recommendations for paint?

Its so easy to remove the rear tire... makes it a lot easier.
Ugh!!! I KNOW. Total rookie mistake on my part.
@@Mike_Barker Meh. Just saying it does make life easier lol. I have to do this on a CL450 soon, I am sure I will have all sort of screw ups on my part.
Hey Mike you really should not have a chain that has a master link and clip, it really should be a chain that needs to be riveted on, the master link chains are usually for dirt bikes not street bikes, I just want you to be safe out there brother!
Jose you have a good point. I know the rivet type is a stronger setup. 👍
To get the bushing out I had to make 2 cuts in length with a saw blade in the bushing then it came out with a hammer etc.
That's a really great strategy for a stuck old bushing!
@@Mike_Barker yes it worked well , the bushings looked if they where glued but with the 2 saw cuts it came out with no problem, only little bit damage , cut to far , he I am not a pro.(I am Dutch, hope you understand my writing)
Hey Mike it’s been over a year. Got any more videos coming?
Ok, so. Your installation video for a Battery Disconnect was helpful. However, why does my truck start, but unscrewing the little knob does NOT kill the connection??? Please Help!!! (Thought I'd ask on your newest video thinking you'd be likelier to see questions on it , than one you posted 2 years ago)
Sound like you could have a bad disconnect. Other have reported that they can sometimes have an internal short.
Ok, thank you for your response, you are appreciated 👍
Hi Mike! I have a question I would like to ask you. I messaged you through Instagram and Facebook.
