Hi guys,
I got a new pivot bolt from Mike's for my '82 Heritage Special since the old one was beat up and slightly loose. The new bolt goes through the tube inside the swing arm perfectly, but does not want to fit through either side of the frame (bolt is too thick). I oiled it up and smacked it hard with a mallet a few times but only managed to get it stuck about 1 mm in. I'm guessing this is not normal so I knocked the bolt back out. Should I be machining the holes in the frame? That...
Pivot bolt not fitting through frame. Ideas?
