Default Swingarm

I bought a chrome swingarm and I am having the dealer put it on.I needed the 15000 service done anyway so I figured they could do the swingarm while it was there.They called me and said that they can't use the old bushings and that only 1 dealer in the country had the new ones.So they told me that it would take 3-4 days to get them.So the best weather here in Ohio this spring and my bike sits at the dealer.It figures.

One dealer in the country has the bushings...

Dang...

Guess I would have said... button 'er up... I'll do it at a later date...

Another reason I do all that stuff myself... I know if I got the parts before I start... lol
