Bar Weight Gap Fix?

Perhaps that was a red thread locker not rust on the original screw. The replacement screw had the proper part number, but was shorter than the original with no thread locker. I guess the original screws on the first year CB500Xs were too long.

There were a lot of complaints on the CB500X Forum of overtightened screws and oil filters. Unfortunately the metal of the Thai screws were often referred to as chocolate. As the CB1100s are made in Japan, hopefully we won't encounter the same thing on our CB1100s.
