I have grandparents who are former machinists and such, who are very generous. and one of my grandparents has been buying tools for me since I was 2, and gave them to me a couple years ago.

M Moparman1539 Member Sep 9, 2006 804 0 Aug 17, 2008 #8 You don't have any old Kawi swing arm bolts in your "Junkyard" do you. lol They discontinued the swing arm bolt for my 83 KX250. So now i need to find somewhere to get one made. Thats quite a collection you got going on there. I have a little tool set i got for Christmas. And sockets keep disappearing :whoa:.

S schmanman Mi. Trail Riders Member Jan 9, 2007 437 0 Aug 17, 2008 Thread starter #9 I have some old swing arm bolts, but not from any kawasaki's. If you need one froma 1972 ts 125 or a 1969 yammy 90 cc, i've got it, though.' a lot of misc. old parts. it's really nice to be able to fix your own bike, and do tune ups and such. I've saved quite a bit that way.
