My shocks are also standard length, anything shorter than standard, I don't think there would be enough clearance to pull the spindle through.

The parts list shows the early swing arm with open ends with the footrest brackets on I can't find later ones I guess they must have gone to closed ends then. Makes sense though to put the nut at the brake side as it keeps all the chain crap off it if you ever need to remove the wheel at the side of the road.
My 350 has open ends but then it's a very early 350
Nurse Julie:
Scrap that..my 400 does have an open end swing arm 🙄🙄🙄🙄 So, it doesn't matter which way the spindle goes in. (I was looking at the wrong bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

So to conclude It won't matter which way the spindle fits if you have open-ended swing arm But if closed end Nut on brake side so spindle drawn out nearside. Think i will fit nut to brake side although i have open-ended arm

Shud av gone to spec savers. ;D
Nurse Julie:
I don't think you will get the nut on the brake side. If you look at the pics, the spindle sticks out a lot more on the nut end than the other end. If you turn the spindle round, the silencer will foul the end of the spindle and you won't be able to get the nut on if you have a standard exhaust system fitted.
