WTF did he do to F@#K that up.
Man Im glad you got it for $450, when I said $800 was ok I thought you had a crack in the swingarm.
Not it is nearly F@#KED!
Check the wreckers, they should have one for sure.
I hope it is smooth sailing from now on, no more nasty surprises.

I know one thing, Im glad I wasn't on the bike.
Now you have a quick detach swingarm and you don't need to remove the pivot bolt. :lol: :lol:

I would not go that old on the swinger. 00 and 01 were the same, so I would stick to those two years.

Thats a classic example of never taking that apart to grease the swing arm bolt. To bad every jap bike that comes out of the factory is like that to begin with. :?

Should I ever buy a new bike from the dealer, there taking that apart to grease it before I take delivery peroid, nuff said. :evil:

exactly, I used to buy two CR500's in the crate every year back in the 80's and I didn't even ride them before taking the whole bike completely apart and properly greasing bushing and replacing all suspension fluids.

a gen-1 swingarm would probably fit, but the dog bones would be different and the shock is way different. I don't like messing w/ suspension geometry, just get a gen-2 swingarm and call it a day. check ebay, I see them parting gen-2s all the time.
