The swing arm should only move up and down no sideways movement. If you've got sideways movement you might have a problem with the swing arm bearings or the suspension or wheel bearings. I thought from your picture that maybe someone had bent the exhaust in and that's why it was hitting the swing arm but I guess it could be the swing arm moving. Does it feel solid when you're leaned over cornering or does it move around a bit? I saw a guy one day proudly showing off his new bike to a mechanic and the mechanic lifted it up off the side stand to have a look and he noticed a bit of sideways movement in the swing arm or so he thought. It turned out the last guy hadn't tightened the rear axle nut. It was only hand tight :eek
