Catch me if you can
IF YOU GET THE aLL bALLS, YOU SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING. Sorry, caps on..... I imagine, Moose (etc etc etc)as well.
Remember that needle bearings should have the information facing OUT on the part you pull or press in.

Hello fallguy666.
You may already know this but in case you don't, putting a longer s arm on it will make the rear suspension softer so you will need to adjust for that.
I would also put grease on the bearings, some people just use oil.

Here is what I did. Clean the inside of swingarm with 200 grit sand paper, put bearings in freezer for an hour or so, get a long bolt with a nut that will go through the swinger, grease the inside of swinger , start bearing and put bolt through with washer and tighten it so it presses bearing in (#'s facing out) then use an 18 mm socket with the ratchet end sitting on bearing instead of the washer to recess the bearing to the proper depth, Rinse and repeat, then grease the bearings and your golden. Hope this helps.

Ok, cool, just curious, where did the spring come from?Originally Posted by fallguy666
Is it custom made?
Flyingw and a few others were looking for interchangeable or custom springs. I suggested they try Eibach.

Are we on the same page??
Now I wonder if you meant, "rear axle bearings" which the large tube is not included.
The swingarm pivot bearings come complete.

No,I meant the swingarm bearings(the part that goes through the frame with a 12-14"long bolt).Lol.I didn't know if a kit came with the "bushing" that goes in there.the carrier bearings have already been replaced
