1972 Honda CB500K · Cam drive Buying guide
The featured guide, slipper and damper are offered as separate products, alongside tensioner and cam-sprocket bolt options. Their shared purpose in cam-drive work does not mean that any one listing supplies the whole assembly.
Genuine Honda cam-chain guideThe current listing identifies this as a genuine Honda guide, reference 14611-323-000, for the CB500K. It is a distinct guide component, not a combined chain-and-tensioner kit.View part
Genuine Honda tensioner damperThe damper description identifies genuine Honda reference 14501-323-000 and CB500K fitment. Do not confuse this cam-tensioner component with rubber dampers for the engine primary-drive assembly.View part

The tensioner listing has older title and URL wording that includes more than one reference, while its current body names 14500-323-010 and says sold individually. Compare that stated reference with your engine requirements; the additional wording is not evidence of unrestricted interchange.
Record each part required by the repair rather than treating a guide or damper as a comprehensive kit. The guide, slipper, damper and tensioner have separate listings. The cam-sprocket flange knock bolt package explicitly contains a pair, but no complete assembly contents are stated.
They are separately listed components: the guide uses 14611-323-000 and the slipper uses 14520-323-000. Identify the part being replaced and compare its position and reference before ordering.
The current tensioner description specifies 14500-323-010 for the stated CB500 and CB550 application. Match the engine’s required reference; the listing does not establish unrestricted interchange with every earlier tensioner number.
The tensioner information identifies a stretched chain, worn guides, incorrect adjustment or other valvetrain wear as additional possibilities. Have the complete cam-chain system assessed so the order addresses the identified worn components rather than relying on noise alone.
