didnt go after swing arm bearings..everything seemed to move really good so i left it alone

now im second guessing that...

Just my opinion, but, while you got the rest of that stuff off, the swingarm is pretty simple. Hardest part can be disconnecting the driveshaft, or you can do what I do and just pull the four bolts holding the U-joint to the middle drive. Then you can fiddle with the driveshaft going in and out of that U-joint where you can reach and see things MUCH better. If your feeling really froggy, you can grease the bearings of the U-joint as well. You may be surprised at the condition of the grease on / in those swing arm bearings for how smooth it feels.

It also makes it easy and simple to touch up any paint or developing rust spots on the swing arm while you have it out.
