RG500Γ Touch-Ups Here and There

Today we’re welding the caliper mounting boss on the swingarm side.

Lately they cut to the specified dimensions, so it’s efficient.
Since I’m the fit-to-the-actual-part type, this alone is already plenty fast.

Wait! It’s floating…

Not going too deep into it.

No good—stainless steel bolts in a spot like this… and full-thread at that.
They probably couldn’t fit it during reinforcement.

I’ve prepared a machined plain steel bolt—no strength grade issues there.

Never seen this configuration before.
Is this original or modified?

Custom bikes have deep mysteries.

Dimensionally it works out, so we’re good to go.

I’ve machined the material from earlier and assembled it together.

Both front and rear can move.

Checking twice before machining—don’t want problems.
The mystery runs deep. The shaft fits, so that should be fine.
