1972 Honda CB500K · Suspension & Wheel Buying guide
The repair location determines the choice: fork seals have a precise size, shocks have stated eye-to-clevis measurements and wheel parts have front or rear applications. Check those details before grouping different service parts in one order.
35 × 48mm fork seal setFork seals made in Japan, with the stated 35 × 48 × 10.5/11mm dimensions. The detailed fitment names the 1972 CB500K1; check the installed forks before ordering.View part

The chrome stock-design CB500K set is listed at 321mm center of eye to clevis. Other listed alternatives measure 335mm or 336mm, and custom shorty products use another length or mounting format. Read the exact dimensions on the chosen product; common styling or motorcycle fitment does not establish one identical arrangement.
The swingarm bushing pair replaces the stated plastic pivot bushings, while spoke packs service a wheel. Rear-wheel drive dampers are different again, cushioning the wheel drive connection. Identify each assembly and its worn components before ordering; a two-piece bushing set is not a wheel rebuild kit or every part of a pivot overhaul.
The chrome stock-design pair measures 321mm upper-eye center to clevis and has five preload positions. The black pair measures 335mm eye-to-clevis with four positions; choose by the fitted length, mounts and desired appearance.
The supplied pair has a 35 × 48 × 10.5/11mm specification and explicitly lists the 1972 CB500K. Replacement forks must match the full seal dimensions before that original-model application can support the purchase.
The rear pack is specified for the stock 18-inch CB500K wheel. A changed hub or rim requires checks of hub dimensions, spoke angles, lengths and rim drilling; matching an 18-inch diameter alone does not establish fit.
