I believe that my front forks are bottoming out when I land a jump or come down from a wheelie. I can hear a pretty loud smack. What all do i need to rebuild my front forks?

My swing arm is pretty wobbly so i think that my swing arm bearings might be shot. Im pretty sure they are shot because i have a large hole in my swing arm that previous owner cut in there.

I have a new(used) swing arm and i have a billet carrier and bearings. What else might i need?

Those aren't your swing arm bearings, those are your axle bearings.

Your correct. I guess what i meant to say is that while i replace my swing arm, i would like to replace all swing arm and axle bearings, seals, etc.

Do i have everything that i need? Just making sure, thats all.

Have you tried to see if the pivot bolt is seized? If it is you might have to cut it out and get a new one of those. I guess a 400ex or 450R one will work and is cheaper than 250R
