I've just changed my swingarm due to a broken chain adjusting bolt (2nd hand swingarm was cheaper than getting it repaired)

 

The replacement swingarm came with a pair of doglegs that are marked 172mm, They are longer than the originals.  Maybe someone can use them?

 

I also have some associated bits, A rear axle, swing arm pivot shaft, the triangular link thing for the shock and swingarm.  All in good usable cond, no sticky bearings etc. (No salt etc on Aussie roads)

 

Not looking for real money if someone can put them to use.

 

The broken chain adjuster bolt due to electrolytic corrosion was a surprise.  It wont happen again.

I'm betting it was the disc brake side that siezed, it happens quite a lot actually.  Lee Henty made up some replacement brass adjuster bolts a few years ago to help solve the problem.  He's not around on here these days but you might be able to get some made up.

It was the disc side, never heard of it happening before. All the corrosion problems that seem to be so prevalent in the UK just don't happen here so we don't generally have to take any sort of special precautions. I've coated the bolt threads with a light smear of 50% Moly grease to ensure it doesn't happen again.
