out exploring the Cotswolds today. dropping in on Diddly Squat Farm, Blaze Inn Saddles and The Pig Place.
Chuckin down here, so decided on some mancave time. Thought Id start by checking the rear shock bottom linkage is still free, but carried on and also took out the swinger to check the bearings etc. The swinger was fine so cleaned and re-greased, the bottom shock pin can out dead easy as Ive had it out to grease it up every couple of years, but there was the smallest amount of play between the collar and the bearing so I've ordered those two items plus new seals, Swinger is back in, exhaust all back on, body parts back on, waiting now for parts delivery
Looking good mate but you could have painted them bolts

I cleaned up the bolt heads and applied zinc primer. All looking a bit better but still some 5mm free play at the swing arm. I thought I could feel slight play at the bearing in the swing arm and as I had a spare, I replaced that too. I compared the new bearing and new inner bush compared to the items removed from the swing arm and really not that much difference. A little bit less overall free play so I guess they must all be like that. Next time I am in the bike shop I will feel a new bike to compare.
