Author Message   Lastbornjoker Posted on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - 09:26 pm:        Hi all got to looking at my bike i just bought and noticed the swingarm looked differnt. The person that owned it before me put a threaded rod thru the axle with two washers capped with a bolt then a nylon bolt. The reason for my concern is because i cant figure out what he was doing. Im thinking thats how you put on sliders but i dont think a bolt would slid very good lol. The only other reason i can think of is he used the bolts as a jack point for a stand. Well heres some pics what do yall think?   Tnd2 Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 08:10 am:        I'm guessing either a lift point for a stand, or maybe a slider to protect the swingarm in a tip over? It looks too small for a slider though. Here's a link that'll show you one aftermarket solution: http://www.darkhorsemoto.com/   Buell_bert Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 05:39 pm:        I really don't think I would use threaded rod for an axle shaft. Especially if it is mild steel. Never seen it used before. I have made an axle shaft on a lathe but not out of threaded rod   Court Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 08:22 pm:        "First do no harm" . . . . toss the rod.   Bluzm2 Posted on Saturday, June 13, 2009 - 10:16 am:        Poor man's spool lift points.
