    What exactly happens if the rear axle is tighten while the swingarm brace is removed? We talking warping? twisting? Making it fu#$ing impossible to loosen the rear axle again?

    2 or 3 threads showing, i have 8-10!!!

    Im torquing down my headers and it seems to be taking far to long. I know its a slow process as im going 1/4 at a time.
