    I have just refitted the swingarm and found that the end of the pivot bolt seems to protrude from the right hand side near the footpeg too far so that the black plastic cover will no longer fit. I have checked the drawing and diagrams to see If I had missed a washer off of something but it would appear not. The only thing I can think of is that there should be a washer behind the right footpeg assenbly and the fram to make up the difference. Can anyone either confirm this or advise me on what they think is the reason

    Thanks
