    Swing Arm question

    I noticed when I removed my swing arm that the pivot bolt had a silver paint on it. I was just wondering if this is there for a reason. I see that a new one is also painted.

    Can you believe this bolt is $66.00?

    They use expensive silver paint. They may paint it to help fight corrosion. I'd put a light coat of grease on it.

      It's probably not paint but a zinc plating of some sort. And $66 isn't that bad. Try making one or have one made for that cost. It looks like a nice piece, I'm sure your motorcycle will love you for it. 👍
