Going through the different years I found out that the Rear Arm Suspension as it's called, had shims inside the thrust covers through 2003. Staring in '04 with the 1700 no more shims. So this chrome arm is for a 1600. I got the part numbers for the shims and thrust covers from that site and ordered them from my local shop. I was reading the article on How to Install Highway Hank swingarm covers and decided to replace the axle adjuster thing, so I also ordered a "puller, chain" so that both will be the "push to the rear" kind. While I'm into all of this I've been lubing everything, and cleaning things that I normally can't get to. I also found out the rear brake pads were almost gone. So I'm replacing those too. Gonna be like a new bike when I'm done. HAHA... I responded to the first one... Looks like you fingered it out it was a 1600 swing arm.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #507461 tykesplace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 954 Re:Swingarm pivot tube width?? 11 Months ago   Definitely a 1600 arm. Seller said it was 1700. But you know how that goes. Buyer beware on eBay. Hey, at least it'll be shiny when I'm done. The chrome's in great shape.   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #512473 tykesplace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 954 Re:Swingarm pivot tube width?? 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Thought I would close this up and post a couple of pics. Once I got my parts in (shims and thrust covers) it went together fine. Kind of hard to see the chrome arm with the bags on, but it looks great when the bags are off. I'm not too sure about the belt tension. I just guessing and going by feel from how it was before I dismantled it. But it's tracking center just fine and I'm not hearing any odd noises. It's great to have it back together and riding again.   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #512488 blue_star (User) Better to burn out than fade away!
