Just back from Yamaha .

£131 for all bearings , seals and bushes . That's to get the swingarm , bottom knuckle thing and rear shock together . Some bearings survived but these look kinda special .

Also got the price for other bits I needed

Sidestand bolt
Chain guide rubber ( grommet )
Plastic rubber ( grommet )
Couple other bolts
Brake hose clips on swingarm

£15

So call it £150 to attach the swingarm , not including labour to remove and replace all bearings .


Anyhoo few more mock up pics with swingarm , about start cleaning some more bits and paint some metal

Looked at the wheels for the first time since I took them off . Turns out the rims are fine just needs new spokes .

Will order them soon and for now I got the Brasso out again on the rim











Sorted















Crap light now so you cant see the bling properly

I'm also toying with the idea of masking off the rims and just painting the spokes and hubs black .

It will be a mission to mask them but it will save almost £200

The shop wanted 11/2 hours ( £ 40-50 an hour ) to respoke them and add £50 + for new spokes . Just not worth it and the bills are starting to mount . I like the idea of black spokes with chrome lip .


I'm getting ahead of myself and wanting to mod out of my budget . I'll use the hammerite rust sealant I have ( not used yet ) and spray it all shiney black

Yeah i wondered if you were gonna go with new spokes or not when you found out the price.Quite shocking.I had my motard rims rebuilt a few years ago and cost me 200 for stainless spokes and fitting.That was a wheel specialist in birmingham and he was by far the cheapest.
Just wire brush the spokes off and spray them up.It will look nice with black spokes too i reckon.

Have to agree with gav get the rust off and just spray them they will good black. Also check that all the spokes are nice and tight.
