FYI: Riding last weekend and when we got back I discovered that I lost both nuts, washer and o-ring on the left side of the swing arm bolt. Must have vibrated off when riding. It could have been ugly, and lost the whole swing arm or kinked sideways and jammed the chain and wheels. Would not have been pretty. I did have a problem with the nuts being torqued to tight upon delivery not allowing the swing arm to move freely, and the dealer fixed it. (well I guess he might have not torqued them when he was done, suprise, suprise). Be sure to check yours!!
