    79 special swing arm parts

    Anyone have a source on 79 special swing arm collars, dust seals, and outer caps (the gold or chrome cap)?

    These bits are all the same for all the XS11s, with the exception of the gold MNS trim. Used will likely be your only choice, but luckily a member here can fix you up...

      Durr, I didn't think to ask andreas. I've bought a side cover from him before. Thanks for reminding me

            Probably, I'm trying to locate a parts list that has the length and pitch on the threads. Any ideas?

            EDIT: PS, the manual on your sire has been coming in plenty handy. Thanks for hosting it!

              I happen to have a bunch of different fasteners around form the parting out of Thunderstruck, rotor bolts are in that list.

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