rear drive problem

[Chuck in Indiana]

RK, just trying to say that the swingarm section was wet with rear drive fluid, not dry.  It is a good thing that there is oil getting up in there cause then I know the bearings are getting some lube.

Thanks Chuck.  Would using a cross pin help at all? Maybe a tapered pin that is spot welded to keep it in place?

May be a moot point.  Looks like I will be able to get a rear drive from another bike.

Not really, IMHO. If you can get a used rear drive in good shape, just go for it.
