550 Swing arm pivot bolt
« on: December 26, 2022, 01:25:31 AM »
After a day in the shed, it's become apparent that I hadn't replaced the swing arm pivot bolt when I cut it out during disassembly and find myself needing a replacement
Would anybody have one that I might purchase, its the 14mm one?

many thanks all and happy crimbo and all that......

Dont think i got one of those, i think a 500 one will fit only difference is 500 has a grease nipple at each end, which in my opinion are easier to use than the single one underneath

I think there’s a length difference Bryan, I’m sure I read summut on here about folk using threaded bar but I’m not keen on that. I did wonder about the 500 on but have learnt to bob the question up here first before firing the parts canon at it from the internet

. The 750 ones keep popping up on the same search but they have the same nipple on the end as the 500 and wondered if they were an alternative. With no definite dims I can’t be sure hence the APB in here for a bit of I. House knowledge. Where’s Ken when you need him?

Ooo, that would be fab. There’s only I correct one in the net at CMSNLAND ITS 44 quid plus the dreaded and import so holding off but it is brand new and the last one they have

Thankyou for looking. I don’t have a size as it was sacrificed to save the swing arm and had to cut it out to get the arm out. It is however 14mm OD down the shaft………….. ……Shaft


Sorry, too much time on me own

500 and 750 use the same bolt and should be same length as 550 unless it goes through extra bits on outside of frame like 750F ones

I’m not sure without reaming up the reading,I’ve all the footpeg set up to go but as I say, no reference pints but as far as I can tell from the books and the net, etc there’s nothing but the bolt on this application and nothing else hangs off it…..
