I'd powder coat the swing arm cus anodising can have a tint of blue to it whereas powder coat more durable and cheaper(unless u know someone who does it cheaper), can't wait to see the before and after photo's
And quotin Superdan................."good luck with the bushes"

ok, I have a few questions along with an update.....


The rear wheel is still at the garage having the rubbers out - not heard from him yet so dunno how it's going....

I cleaned and inspected all the parts that came out of the swingarm and wheels - to check if I needed to buy anything new...

Now. Question 1 - I cleaned all the grease off...dried, then sprayed on some spray grease to keep 'em safe for a week or two while they're out. Is that gonna be ok?!

Question 2 - what kind of grease do I need to use to reassemble the wheel and swingarm ready for fitting...and can I buy it in Halfords?

Question 3 - they broke one of these during disassembly....is it a required SD specific part or will any old valve fitted when new tyres go on be ok?

Image


Question 4 (jeeez....) - the chain has obviously been slack at some point and eaten away a little at the siwingarm...through the swingarm protector too I should add... is this ok? doesn't look structurally damaging to me....?

Image

Question 5 - this part has a few little scuffs inside, I guess from disassembly.... do I need a new one?!

Image

Sam, i have a spare valve if you want it but personally i'd put new ones on. They are Brembo valves so rather than buy some of fleabay and them not fitting i bought o/e ones, also used standard grease to reassemble the bike. The scuff on the swing arm should be ok with a new chain gaurd fitted, wouldn't see much off it then

Dan - the lock is dead simple to remove from the twin seat and whack into the R seat. It was something I was a bit confused about beforehand too - I was worried at one point that I might have to carry 2 keys around!

still a few bits and bobs to sort out, but nowt visible, so here's the final product, albeit a photo taken by an iphone in a garage.... I'll get some decent pictures but it'll have to wait


anyway - spent 8 hours in my garage today! no major problems though most of what I spent all that bloody time doing clearly wasn't a quick'n'easy!

so, without further ado............
