I'm looking for a source for a new clutch pushrod for a '70 CB450 K3. Anyone have any suggestions? A quick search so far shows nothing but used...

All Cl 450, all CB450 (after engine #30xxx), all 500T, and 500 Fours use that part.
You'll find good used ones on EBay.
New ones? Good luck with that.

I'm just leary of buying a used one and it having a dimple just like I already have. Didn't know the crossover on the pushrods though. Thanks

I made a clutch pushrod for my CB175 engine, using a silver steel ground shaft rod, 9mm diameter, from memory. Cut to length and ground the ends to shape, still working fine a year later.

Yeah, I'm thinking that's what I may do.

Mine has the dimple as well and works fine. Have you tried using it?

I'm using it now. It's just something that can make a difference in the clutch operation. I just thought they might be more readily available. Must be everybody else thought so too and bought up the supply...
