I just finished removing my triple trees and lower fork sliders and had them powder coated black and reinstalled them. Now it's time to do the same thing to the swing arm and oil tank.
Anyone out there removed the swing arm and / or oil tank on a Rocker themselves? Was it a pain in the ****? Any words of wisdom that I won't find in my service manual for this project?

I seem to remember your post about that.
I'm about to change mine too. Just picked up new grommets and clamps for the job. Just need my painted tank back. I've heard its a little bit of a pain.
