Refitting Swing Arm

[clonmore1]

Here's the way I see it, how much for a 'new' 650cc BMW? I think UK retail is around £8k standard spec, I'll have a fully restored zero hour engined classic that will increase in value over time and be fun to ride.

My bike will have cost way less than a new one...

I haven't really thought about its value - I love the old girl - I bought her in 1992 - rebuilt here in 1996 - so I'm having fun again.
.
I've been ill for a long time so that's why its been mothballed and all boxed up for a few years. But I'm making myself finish it off now that I have some inheritance money from the Uk. Its enough to finish everything and maybe have some left over.
.
When I'm too old to ride it - even if its only local - I'll swap for an electric scooter lol lol lol - Assuming I'll be too old and doddery to drive my car too.

I used one of those brass toothbrushes and some kind of solvent (WD 40?). I cleaned both male and female threads. No powder coat only gummed up with crud.
The swing arm must be held tightly. If the pins are contacting the bearings and centering the swing arm when under correct torque, they are working.
I did this six months ago so don't remember all the details.
