I got a new OEM clutch adjuster from bikebandit.com <\/p>\n<p>CB500 clutch push rods are very very very hard to find on Ebay, but knowing honda double overs a lot of their parts, I figured another model must fit.  It took a TON of googling but I found out that the cb500 uses the same clutch push rod as the cb450\/cl450\/cb500t, which made it much easier to find one ($20 on ebay).  For future reference here is the part number &#8211; 22850-323-000<\/p>\n<p>I had to take off the right side cover and then the clutch basket (the 4 bolts shown above) to get the broken push rod out, but it gave me a good excuse to change the oil and oil filter.  I also put in a new air element.  Man the bike is feeling awesome! So I rode it to the beach! <\/p>\n<div class=\"cott-article__copy-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/cb500beach-s.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinonthetank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/cb500beach-s.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My cb500 is almost 100% finished up.
