Title: Drew a blank...
Post by BigSingle on 02/14/09 at 11:47:13

With all my parts all over the place Im tring to figure out what the bolts that run from one side of the frame to the other that are located right above and below the area where the swingarm and frame come together do. They are the allen head bolts. I thought they ran through the motor like a brace but now after looking Im not sure.... :-/

Next time get like a muffin pan and then you can use tape or something and label where they came from. Can be pretty useful!

I kept looking at the tabs on the front left part of the swingarm and thinking what the L goes on there?

Lots of ways to help keep up with where bolts go. Sometimes a bolt can be put in the hole, with the part laid to the side that WAS held by the bolt. Or, tape the bolt to the bracket that was removed. A piece of cardboard with the area being worked on sketched on it & slots poked in the proper places , that will hold the bolts. This is very handy on the sidecovers.

yea its not really figuring out what bolts go where it was just visualising everything when its scattered in 4 different places ;D I wanted to double check becouse I was tring to figure out how "important" that top on was...
