1972 Honda CB500K Wheel Spokes & Bearing Retainers

Rebuilding a wheel on the 1972 CB500K starts with its position and the hub currently fitted. The stock 19-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke sets are separate products. A bearing retainer addresses another wheel-service component and does not supply the bearing itself.

1972 Honda CB500K · Wheel Spokes & Service Parts Buying guide

Choose spokes for the hub and wheel being rebuilt

Front spokes are assigned to the stock 19-inch wheel; the rear pack specifies an 18-inch wheel and forty nipples. Keep the left rear bearing retainer separate from spoke purchases when checking what the repair needs.

Parts to consider

Front and rear spoke packs must suit their own wheels

The front source describes forty bright cadmium-plated steel spokes for the stock 19-inch CB500K wheel, with silver spokes and nipples. The rear explicitly lists forty silver spokes and forty gold-colored nipples for the stock 18-inch rear wheel. Compare the actual hub and rim if either wheel has been converted.

A retainer is separate from the bearing and dampers

The rear retainer references 41231-323-020 and is described for the left bearing position. It does not replace a bearing or wheel-drive rubber. Inspect the existing assembly and read the required component’s contents before ordering; engine primary-drive rubber also serves a different assembly despite being an eight-piece damper set.

Choosing the right parts

What comes with the front and rear spoke packs?

The front pack supplies 40 spokes with matching nipples for the stock 19-inch wheel, all silver-colored. The stock 18-inch rear pack supplies 40 silver spokes and 40 gold-colored nipples; select the correct wheel position.

Will the rear set suit an aftermarket 18-inch rim?

Rim diameter alone does not establish fit. The pack is specified for the stock CB500K rear wheel; compare hub dimensions, spoke angles, lengths and rim drilling before using that application for a changed hub or rim.

Which side does the rear bearing retainer replace?

One 41231-323-020 retainer is supplied for the left rear-wheel bearing location. Opposite-side hardware is excluded and is not interchangeable unless the parts diagram specifies the same reference; check the actual hub position before ordering.
