Swingarm swap underway
Well the parts came in today and I couldn't wait...
Not bad work for one thumb stuck in a cast
I got the new one on, I just need to fab a sleeve for the caliper bracket at work tomorrow and buy a bolt and it should be back on the ground
Of course with the thumb I won't be able to ride it for another few months

RE: Swingarm swap underway
And here is a few homemade tools 
Honda wants a pretty penny for a tool just like the one below, I cut my own out of a 1-1/8" socket
Below that is my 12mm allen wrench (bolt with a 12mm head to stick in the hole with 2 jamb nuts to twist it out) and a gigantic allen wrench made from a SST Lugnut and a pair of vicegrips..
All the tools worked GREAT
