Damaged Swingarm
I need help with ideas or part numbers, so upset that I cant think straignt.
I was trying to install the True-Track Tracula kit which calls for pressing out the Spherical bearings, deburring and installing the True-Pivot by pressing. I was attempting to press out the original bearings and instead of the bearing moving the ear of the swingarm bent in. I believe it will require replaceing due to alignment issues with transmisson and rear wheel.
Does anyone have a part number and idea of price?
Picture attached.

Closer inspection shows that I was pressing the Spherical bearing in the wrong direction. I know, measure twice, cut onec, read instructions, leave it to a professional. Trying to work on my own bike and it is becoming an expensive learning experience.
I dont know if swingarms can be reworked or if it is strictly a replacement item. Any help would be appreciated. I already feel bad enough as is.

Don't let this get to you.
We all do bonehead **** sooner or later.
DTTJ already posted you a couple he found on eBay.
Pick one up and continue with the project.
I don't think I'd chance straightening that part.

Excellent guys, you all are a god send. You are right about ebay, to paniced to think about it.
What years would fit the 2007 model? and I would guess any FLH would work, am I correct in that.
Again, think you. Simple answer that I couldnt put together with this state of mind.

Pretty sure it's 2002-2008, all touring you can tell the difference by looking, the first one I listed is $10 plus shipping on auction, the second is $50 buy it now, depends on if you are in a hurry.

If this is a 1" axle swingarm it will work.
The part number he needs:
47549-02
02 denotes the year it goes back to, so your '03 will work.

That part is for model years '02 to '08
It changed in '09 due to the wider wheels/tires.
