Inspect the rear-wheel adjustment hardware on both sides of your 1979 CB650 before ordering. The listed set supplies two adjusters with bolts and nuts, replacing 40543-425-000. Check the retained swingarm fittings separately, and keep internal primary-chain work apart from rear-wheel service.

Renew the rear adjustment hardware as matched pieces
Two adjusters, two adjusting bolts and two nuts make up the listed set. Compare those six pieces with the existing hardware; the package does not list every component around the rear axle.
The set supplies hardware for both adjuster positions and replaces 40543-425-000. Lay out the removed pieces and inspect the surrounding swingarm fittings before purchase. The stated contents are adjusters, bolts and nuts, so identify any other damaged axle hardware separately.
Keep chain service in the correct system
The 50-link primary chain serves the internal engine drive, not the rear wheel. Identify the rear-drive chain separately, then use the Honda inspection and adjustment procedure for the fitted chain and sprockets.
Buying questions
Can I rely only on swingarm marks to align the rear wheel?
No. Use both adjusters evenly, verify rear-wheel alignment with an accurate method and set chain slack to the Honda specification. Worn or mismatched index marks are not enough to establish alignment.
What should I inspect and recheck during chain adjustment?
Check the drive chain, both sprockets, axle, wheel bearings and adjuster seating. Tighten the axle and adjuster hardware using the service-manual procedure, then recheck chain slack after the axle is secured.
Is the 50-link chain a rear drive chain?
No. It is an internal primary chain. Keep that engine component separate from the chain that drives the rear wheel when planning parts or maintenance.
