        If you have a photobucket account post the IMG code in your post and the pic will show. If you don't have one get one....

              I'm only a smart ass to throw them off the fact I am really a dumb ass.

              Yeah, this forum does not host pictures, it takes up to much storage space, so instead you post them to a hosting site like photobucket or flickr, then post the IMG code into your post here. OR you can use the image posting button above, looks like a photo of a mountain with a rising sun...yellow...and put the http code in there. It basically adds the IMG coding.... [img ] [/img ]

              When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

                        The swingarm bearings aren't that big a deal once you have everything else apart. The worst of it is disconnecting the driveshaft.

                        You'll need one of these to reassemble properly.
