That is what I had in my head too. Kind of made sense when looking at diagrams etc. Get the sprockets aligned pack out the other side.
The 2 exhaust brackets, one was certainly straighter than the other and will be why the exhaust cut my swingarm.
Only earlier bikes had the aluminium swing arm, it was lovely to see this fitted across the range at one point, even have one on my 400 SS.
That’s cool, I didn’t realise that. The thread starters is a later model so assuming that got added at some point?
Mine was first registered 95 but I think it is a 93 model. It is all coming together will post an update picture soon.
^ yes, worth recalling, back in the day the SS models didn't exactly fly out the showrooms (joe public spaffing on fireblades etc.) so MY and registration date can be confusing.

We have arrived Back end all cleaned, nuts and bolts replaced where necessary. New sprockets, chain and riveted. Will try and book MOT this week. I know I missing a fairing bolt, genuine replacements on order. Seat is jammed on and I can't unlock it
Hi, looking really great. Have you coated/protected the swingarm with anything now you have scoured it?
I didn't do much scouring in the end as it wasn't making much of a difference. Received a quote to have polished which I might do next year.
