[QUOTE="AssistSuper, post: 1053141, member: 60409"] Got a bit more done. Here's my nice newly blinged swingarm. If you have the right tools (a drill with a wire brush) you could easily do this in an hour once the swingarm is off. The bare aluminum looks eons better than the paint, and I just polished it really quick. I don't care if it looks like a mirror or not, just gonna get dirty anyway. As long as there's improvement over what it was, I'm happy. I got 99% of the paint off pretty quickly. I may still take the dremel to a couple tiny spots, cause it's probably going to bug me if I don't get it. I just wanted to get out of the shop and decided to snap some quick pics before the rain comes.

Well over half way finished. [IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a35/jhmccle/DSCF0348.jpg[/IMG] After I get this painting done, I'm going to be 2 hours way at home for 3 months. I'm taking the motor with be and it's getting a rebuild I guess. I talked with Marshall's today and I'm going to find prices on the crank assembly....apparently OEM is my only option, no aftermarket for it. :( Once I tally up the price on that I'll decide on which to do first.....order new bearings and seals for the steering stem, linkage, and swingarm, or start on the motor. Once I get the motor and bearings and seals done.....I can finally get this thing looking like a bike again! [/QUOTE]
