When I removed the swing arm to replace the worn out bushings with Needle bearings (more on that in a minute) I discovered that the bolt had at some time in the past snapped at the top of the threads and been rewelded back on. Not something I would want to be riding on. Been trying to find a source for said bolt without any luck.
Anyone know if a reliable source for this bolt, or an alternate that works and is available??
As for the All Balls needle bearing swing arm kit I cannot recommend this kit. I installed the two bearings one side and then tried the bolt in them to check their fit. They are at least as sloppy as the old plastic bushings I removed and possible worse. Hence I will be going with Bronze bushings but need a new bolt.
All input gratefully received.
