Next job, now I can actually find the nuts & bolts, is to remove the rear swingarm and get it repaired.

There's an excellent guide for rear swingarm and suspension removal here.

Wheel off


Inner-tube cush drive mod in place


Big bar for the swingarm removal after undoing the dogbones.


Super condition underneath it all. Shows the value of good prep. No corrosion, everything well greased. Nothing seized.




Swingarm off in about 30 minutes.


The damage that needs cutting out and welding.


Cleaned


The swingarm is now with a metalworks firm nearby who will do the repair for about �200. A new swingarm is �830.

Next up is the rear brake for a clean & service, and then the rear shock and linkage assembly to be removed, cleaned, serviced and replaced.
