Stripped Frame

I stripped the frame down to the swing arm.  The rear axle is stuck and I'm soaking it in penetrating oil (after beating on it with a punch and sledge hammer).  If the PB Blaster doesn't work, I'll take a torch to it and heat it up.  If that fails, I'll remove the swing arm and tire, then put the assembly on an arbor press...

  1. Hey! Was wondering if you had connections for a swing arm axle and bolt? I am also looking for the side covers and exhaust.

    1. The swing arm bolts are hard to come by. I am considering having one set machined as a spare. I haven't gotten around to it yet. The side cover can be found, but they are very expensive. I have a spare exhaust pipe that is rusted out in places. It might be possible to restore it using a CT90 muffler "graft".
