Well, I bought a swingarm, and Today I tried to fit it up on my bike. And it looks like I'm missing some stuff !

I thought the swingarm bearings were the right ID for the KZ900 piviot bolt. So, Do I need pivot bolt sleeves for the GS1100 swingarm ? Are they suppose to have them ? I put my KZ900 sleeves in and it wasnt the right size - too small.

Also the spacing between the frame and swingarm is alot, looks like almost 1/2" of play. So, I'm thinking I need swingarm end caps for the GS1100 swingarm ?

I didnt get any other parts with the swingarm.. just the swingarm with bearings in it and the brake stay bar. Also there is a long bushing trapped inside the swingarm, also not a tight fit on the KZ900 pivot bolt.

Where can I get the parts I need ? Thanks for any help !

Steell: Thanks for the search links and tip.

I think I have figured my problems out ! I hope I'm right !

I went to bikebandit.com and looked at their diagrams and figured I do need the GS1100 swingarm bushing sleeves, end caps, thrust washer.
