CB175 Swing Arm Bushings-alternative source and part.

[theboxrules]

Guys, I found a good cheap source of bronze replacement bushings for the CB175 swing arm. McMaster-Carr is one of the best resources for industrial stuff.

The only difference here is the length is 3mm shorter than the 23mm of the OEM bushing but should not be an issue.

Old thread bump. I checked the site and I don't see any half sizes. The ID of the CB175 bushing is 13.5mm. Would a 14mm work or is a half mm a no no?

I haven't been here in awhile! I missed your post. Somehow IIRC I measured the same sizes except for the length as noted above. They may have discontinued that part. However, a half mm should not be an issue IMO.

That's actually a pretty big gap. Not a good plan.

Come to think of it, I turned mine down with sandpaper on the O.D. to get them to fit.
