time for a bit of inside the swingarm cleaning.

grubby.















a tad better me thinks..

looking good fabio...
you need some ti headers to go with all that loveliness tho mate, contact jonesy, he might be able to help, although your wife will probably kill you...
sadly i have no pictures of the spondon swingarm i used to own. i do remember the welds being a thing of beauty tho, a lot chunkier and heavier than standard as well.
keep the photo's coming mate..

The welds actually polish up lol.. great work whoever the welder was. ay ti pipes are a bit down the road yet.well yet lol

and removing the wheel. total piece of piss. pull the axle and the wheel just sits there. then lift it. easy as and just lift it back in.job done. i tried it and wheel out,wheel back in a tad over a min

That's looking good mate

yeah checked the wheels in an xray and they are spot on. clear few through them and no damage. i was a bit worried as they had been painted but alls good. also the front disc bolts? really strange one why the heads all broke of cause they came out by hand, almost as if the bolt heads had been glued on. i xrayed the rest of them and they were all cracked round the head..poss sh1t cheap bolts,cant say iv ever seen bolts all do that before, but the threads in the wheel are like new so happy days

sounds like you need some nice shiny ti disc bolts mate, glad to hear the wheels are all good tho...

Sounds like youve discovered a new type of cunningly quick release bolts there Fabio.
