I decided to tackle the rear end next. The brake arm should be installed first otherwise it's a real pain and you might have to take something apart to get it in.
Then I did the center stand. I hook up the spring first and then start the pivot shaft on the left side and tap it in. No problem streching the spring when you can get at it like this.
I left my rear swingarm bushings in when I had it painted so I made a tool to remove the bushings. The hex part has to be counterbored deep enough for a bushing to fit in and the diameter is slightly larger than the bushing. The round part is slightly smaller than the bushing. I've used a couple of the right size sockets and some redi-bolt and a couple of nuts to do the same thing but this is easier. In hindsight I would have made the round part longer and machined a hex on it so I wouldn't have to put a channel lock on it to get it tight.
The tool works good for putting them in too.
Here's the swingarm in place.
You have to make sure that the brake arm is pivoted forward when you intall the swing arm. I put my brake lever on and wedge it down to hold it in place.
Got the shocks on and battery box in too. The new flat round rubbers that go in the inside of the box about kicked my a$$ even after I warmed them to make them softer. Tomorrow I'll finish putting the electrical bits back on the box.
