1974 XS/TX650 rebuild

[th62]

Resurrected the swingarm bearings today. The shaft was badly pitted so I turned it down .20mms to 21.8mm. The swingarm bushes were stuffed so I turned up two new ones from Delrin. When drilled, the hole in Delrin comes out slightly smaller than if it was drilled in steel. Unfortunately, not small enough, so the shaft and bushing fit was still a little too sloppy for my liking, so I turned the bushing outer diameter a little larger than an interference fit in the swingarm bushing hole and pushed the bush in place, this compressed the bushing material by .20mm taking the bushing bore down to around 21.8mm. Excellent fit. There's always more than one way to skin a cat!
