Took a look at the 125 today and found the bolts are all made of cheese. I removed the rear wheel so that I could wire brush the swingarm and coat with copious amounts of black hammerite paint. cleaned the chain gaurd whilst it was removed though.   |

2007 Just needs a bit of welding and you'll never notice it.  |

apart from the swingarm and screws made of cheese it's actually OK.

Yep, not surprisingly, as they are apparently made of tinfoil, swingarms are normally away. My quest continues. |

That's not as daft as it sounds, I have made a fazer 1000 swingarm fit a FJ1200, how hard can it be? |

How hard could it be ? Going by the rest of the bike bloody impossible.  |

Chinese built Yamaha YBR's do exactly the same, and look how much you'll pay for one of those.

Started doing a wee bit to the 125 at the weekend. Cleaned the rear shocks   But what about the swingarm? I've got some lovely grey paint in the garage once it's all welded up. |
