Thoughts on my rebuild shopping list ( updated )

Currently in middle of tear down for frame coating and running wiring thru frame. I am new to all of this so any advise on these products would be greatly appreciated. Plus I'm looking for a new swing arm also but don't know what is a good one.:tup:

Forget about the powerbomb and the "Nitro Air Shocks"

I'm running stock header with fmf exhaust at the moment. Header is all rusty and mud baked from previous owner.

Deff dont buy those shocks.

 

[derheim]

Took them off the list. Thanks for y'all advise

Stick to the stock header and clean it up. They usually clean up nice. Get HD valve springs instead.

I'll take a wire wheel to it this weekend and see if I can get it looking better

 

[derheim]

That's If I can get it off lol. I'm hoping not to break the studs off.

 

[alex456123]

If you do drill them out and tap them to an m8x125 bolt

 

[derheim]

only thing left is pull motor, steering shaft, and the dang swing arm which the bolt is seized but its coming out weather it wants to or not. oh and i broke one of the exhaust studs. got about 1/2 inch sticking out to work with. gonna try a lil heat and vice-grips.

That should do it bud, a couple says soaking in pb blaster wouldn't hurt either. Look into the swingarm shop if you're interested in a swinger. Pat and I both have their +3 and it's a nice piece.

 

[derheim]

Yeah had it soaking over night. Hopefully today it will free up and not be a pain

 

[alex456123]

Use a punch and a BFH to get it out.

 

[derheim]

Welp!! Had to cut the swing arm bolt out. So today I have motor out, swing arm off, steering shaft off... Frame is clean just need to take bumpers off and then send for coating. Question tho when I get my new swing arm, will it come with a spacer that goes between the bearings. The rest of the bolt is seized into the spacer.

 

[lbjamm]

Mine did.
