Default Swingarm rebuild

Started my winter project. I've had the new bushings, I believe are the correct ones, all summer. Now it's time to do the work. While I've got it torn apart I'm putting the 32T transmission pully back on and removing the 34T. Anything you guys think I should look at while I'm in there?

Yes, I was aware of that but he didn't specify which bushings. I know the earlier swing arm isolators were different... just being nosy lol.

Custom cycle engineering wants over $200 more..

Also check your swingarm for cracks around the axle slots.

Motor mounts, wheel bearings, inspect the drive belt, check swingarm for cracks.

What @ Bubba listed..
And..
The shifter shaft rod ends appear to be original factory style.
Heim joints can be less than $20 USA dollars and then re-use the rod with new ends.
The rear rubber slip-on muffler supports can be dry/hardened and cause squeaking.

Change the shock oil sometime. You won't believe the difference.

The entire shift rod is only 28 from HD and it has the correct ends. I totally agree about keeping the muffler mount rubbers in good shape. The chrome will wear off the flat bars and eat the rubber over time.

shift rod 33719-79B
Muffler mount bar 65723-85
rubber 65724-85A
