Swingarm doodads
« on: November 02, 2008, 06:10:28 PM »
I'm cleaning up the frame of unnecessary bits before painting and want to do the same to the swingarm.  I's assuming the following are for the chainguard.  Any reason I shouldn't grind them off?

They keep the chain guard from rattling. If you're not going to use the guard.....grind away.

Sparks will fly. ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!
