On the weekend I striped down the rear end/swing arm and shock for a good clean. Regreased the bearing and bushes, replaced the chain, bleed the rear brakes. All the bearings are good except the lower shock bearing (which is some type of swivel bearing) has a lot of movement in it.
Any ideas as to a bearing manufactures replacement code for it?

I have ordered a polishing kit for the aluminium and am looking in to a clear coat to preserve the finish.
Does anyone know the type of clear coat used by the manufactures and is it available to the public?
Failing that what have people used and how durable have the results been?

Thanks

I wouldn't really want to polish anything that wasn't already done.
If it's for the swinging arm I'd looka at getting it stripped and powder coated satin silver - but you'll need to take the bearings out.
Or you can clean it up yourself and use a silver wheel paint - I'd use a "Five Wheels Silver" spray a couple of thin coats and it should be good for a while
