Well after asking for Photosho help to get an idea of what it would look like I finally took the plunge and removed the swingarm to paint it. It wasn't too much of a PITA and only took a few hours with beer. Here's a pic of the bike with it removed.  And here's a few of the freshly painted swingarm ready to be reinstalled.   I should have some time later this week to put Humpty back together again. More pic to follow of the completed project!  Anyone want to come by and help out? |

It's called Hot Rod Black and it looks much better in person. It has a catalyst in it so it's very hard paint too so it should be durable. |

Lol. Nothing on the bike. I replaced the floor in my bathroom this past weekend and I was cutting notches in the subfloor for the toilet plumbing. The jigsaw just happened to get left there when I brought it in from the garage. |

I was thinking, "I'm no expert, but I think you're doing it wrong..."  |

I have pulled my swingarm so many times that I can get it off in about 15 mins now. What did you use to get the piviot axle out? |

Thanks Tak but I've just about got it back together. It should be done when I get a spare 20 mins or so. I have pulled my swingarm so many times that I can get it off in about 15 mins now. What did you use to get the piviot axle out?
You mean the 6mm retaining screw or the actual pivot? I needed an impact gun to get the 6mm retaining screw out and after that I just tapped lightly on one side with a rubber mallet. |

I was talking about the pivot. Mine was hell getting it to move. I started with a rubber mallet and ended up using a block of wood and a small sledge.

Looks sick ! Can wait to get mine back from powdercoating and back on the bike. Amazing how much better the overall bike looks with a color frame matched swingarm.. |

Anyone got pics of a blue one? On the bike. I am wondering how mine would look matched. I can almost picture it and I think it would be nice.

Wow, that looks great. I was considering powdercoating mine but if you tell me how you went about doing it so nicely I may change my mind  |
