Default Bagger swing-arm repair/upgrade

[/align][hr]

I replaced the bushing and cleav blocks on my 99 FLHTCI last weekend. I started experiencing some wobble late last summer and this was my answer to the problem. I purchased new bushings and cleavblocks, a set of Jim's tools Swing arm bushing removal and install and a spreader. The install tool is so good I didn't need the spreader. I also purchased the rear axle adjusters/wheel spacers and stabilizer kit from Ride Str8. That product is quality!

This job not including taking the bike apart and putting it back together took about 3 hours. And on the unit that I purchased and used the stabilizer mounts to the lower rear of the transmission housing and the side car mount. It includes three hex screws and one bolt.

I put a tad over 100 miles on it today and I am happy to report the wobble is gone.
Here is a link to my web site and a gallery of the project.
