Swing arm

Next I will be taking off the swingarm to paint it. I want the subframe and swing arm to both be painted a matte black sort of color.

Taking the swing arm off of this bike was a bit confusing, I've never seen neck bearing used in a swingarm before. What really threw me off was that I had to remove the entire swing arm and its mount from the bike to get the swingarm off.

don't forget the hidden bolt under the battery

.... next I will blast all the 'burn out' residue from the previous owner, cut off the tabs, and prep this for paint.
