    Swing arm pivot covered?

    I only realised when I went to fit the new titanium suspension linkage bolts!

    Ball ache! :(

    If you do wear gloves! Carbon splinters unlike other splinters will get drawn into the body and can travel round the blood system and then get lodge elsewhere, we have to wet blast our carbon fibre routers before regrinding them for customers

    Yes a million times lol. Ideally take them off and masking tape up where you need to drill and support underneath. Using a centre punch tap it lightly just so it marks the laquer then using a 2mm drill bit drill it and get yourself a fine tooth hole saw cutter and you should get through it easily.

    Removing them is what I was afraid of... :D

    That's a job for winter then... in the meantime how do I get the suspension linkage out without using the swing arm pivots!>? :D

    Abba stand with the footrest adaptors screws into where rearset bolts are, as allows the whole of the swing arm to be removed! Is what I used when I changed over my old swing arm bolt to the titanium one
