RE: Swing Arm Project begins!

Looks like a fun project. Is the swingarm HD or are you getting yours chromed? As far as working in a cold garage (davidchristopher), what I do is take my bar-b-que tank and mount a gas heater attachment onto the propane canister and fire it up. Believe me, you'll be warm in no time. You can get them at Lowe's/Home Depot for about 30-40 bucks.

I also had mine torn apart putting on chrome swingarm, brakecaliper, brake rotor, belt sprocket, axle adjuster bolts, and axle covers. Also installed the diamondback braidedbrake line. Mine was a little warmer, it's in the living room....
Also installed the HD low profile shocks.

Well, just me and the 2 Austrailian Shepherds here, they don't have a clue what I am doing as long as they get fed! lol! I just finished getting mine back together except for the pipes. I have been looking for the chrome left side passenger footpeg support but it is no longer available! Guess I could get it chromed...

Looks great Naz_Man. I put a chrome swingarm on a 1200 Sporty a few years ago and you're right. It's not an easy job. You did the right thing having the bearing's pressed in.
