Need please!

[Ceruzziracing]

Hey guys, looking for a few small things. I need the front wheel spacer (collar) that locates on rotor side of axle between wheel hub and fork. Also need the swing arm sleeve that fits inside swing arm between the bushings. Both for a '74 era 750. Thanks for the help,Tom
Oops, just realized I also need the lower rear engine mounting bolt (the long one) for same bike.

There are several suppliers who can sell you these parts, but www.bikebandit.com is one of your best options.  As stated by another forum member recently, they are not the least expensive, but they have exploded schematic diagrams, and you can tell, online, if the parts are available, and how much.  Cheers!

I know I can buy new from many of the suppliers, thanks for your input. Obviously looking to see if anybody has these bits in their spares box so I don't have to pay Bike Bandit $65 for the swing arm sleeve, etc.

I am fairly positive that i have all three pieces you need.I will check when i get in from work and let you know asap.

Thanks Shiny

Ok,i was wrong,i only have two.I thought i had a rear engine bolt,but it was a swing arm bolt.My swing arm sleeve measures 9 1/16" long , 0.845" o.d. &  0.550" i.d.

Heres is a pic to make sure we are on the same page.Spacer and sleeve.

[TOOLS1]

That's the axle nut. I think he is needing the sleeve that goes between the nut, and the wheel.

Yup, should be the correct swing arm sleeve, and like Tools said, that's the axle nut. Thanks for going to the trouble of looking. My email addy is [e-mail] if you want to part with the sleeve, I really appreciate it.

[shinyribs]

Oops my bad.I thought you wanted the one the fork clamped to.I re-read your post.Sorry.I should have that spacer,too.It goes up inside the seal,right?If i can find it is the question.I have the one that came out of my Comstars,if that will work.I have a full weekend coming up,but i will check on that spacer Sunday...hopefully.Ill get with you.You're more than welcome to it,im trying to get rid of all these extra parts.

[Ceruzziracing]

Thanks Shiny, yup it's the spacer that slips into outer seal. The Comstars have a different length and outer diameter spacer, wont work, I've got a pair of those. Just shoot me an email at your convenience when youve had a chance to look, don't knock yourself out over this.

I measured my swing arm and it's 9" on the button from outside edges. I don't recall if mine even had the sleeve, i disassembled her 5 years ago and she was a bit of a basket case (may have been missing) so I don't know how it positions. From the diagram I assumed it is trapped between the bushings, does it actually slip through those? This is going into my '74 with stock swing arm and I imagine anything from 69-76 would work. Maybe Tools can verify.

[TOOLS1]

Any 69-76 should work. My buddy vintage rider is parting out a 74. I know he has a swing arm, and the motor mount bolts.

The sleeve is captured by the bushings.My sleeve stuck to the swing arm bolt and i wasted the bushings when i had to drive it out.I got my bronze bushing from Vintage for about $45+shipping,but there is a guy on ebay selling them for$20-25 a pair.If you need a sleeve,you will need bushings


Email sent,i will get the sleeve out to you as soon as i can.

[Ceruzziracing]

Thanks Eric, now I just have to get the old bushings out! Man, what a pain. Steel and I think they've welded themselves inside arm lol. Time for the die grinder 'cause beating the snot out of them didn't work...

[shinyribs]

My bushings were some kind of nylon,maybe.Looked like they some kind of fiberglass or something reinforcing them.The new bushing go in easily.Just start them gently with a rubber hammer after cleaning the inside real good.No rust.Then I used the swing arm bolt and some big thick washers and squeezed them into place.You probably already knew that,though.Good luck!I'll get the sleeve out tomorrow

[Ceruzziracing]

Thanks!!!

[shinyribs]

On da way!

[Re-run]

Did you find the lower bolt you needed? If not, what I did was to go to a hardware store that sells long threaded rods. Vut it to the length you need and get a couple washers and nuts and do that.
I did on mine and it has worked just as well. I need to shorten the rod on mine a little but it has worked perfectly. And cost me about $3.

[Ceruzziracing]

I think thats what I'm going to have to do. I need it sort of a custom length anyway as I'm actually using it on my '79. When I removed the factory foot pegs it leaves a gap of a couple inches. I have a '74 bolt that is close to correct length, but mine has a nasty bend in it towards one end. Still need the wheel spacer if anyone has an extra laying around.

[shinyribs]

Rerun is right.Threaded rod and a couple stainless steel acorn nuts would look nice.I doubt that bolt needs to be incredibly strong.Swingarm bolt,yes,i wouldnt scrimp there.bot the rear engine bolt doesnt have a ton of stress on it

[Ceruzziracing]

That's gotta be true because I've had that sucker in and out a half dozen times and I can usually just push it through with one finger. I'm sure there's some tension on it while riding, from frame flex and torsional flex from engine, but nothing that needs a heavy grade bolt.
