Swing arm issue I am building a 2001 Harley Davidson heritage classic and am having issues with getting swing arm as well as rear axle bolts that fit I've bought 3 different bolts and none have been long enough to use they have been 13 and 13 1/4 inch the issue I'm having with the swing arm bolt is I have inserts that stick out on the outside of my swing arm about a half inch each making the bolt to short does anyone know what bolt I need to get to fix this issue my rear axle bolt has the same issue of not being long enough please help
You sure the new bushings are not in backwards? I can see those spacers needing to point towards the swingarm. Just guessing, doesn't look right to me.
