I have been swamped this year. Just starting on this project, as my slow time is 10/16-1/31.

I did have some sleeve made. Many machinist who I spoke to and from the board here did say that it needed to be hardened steel where it rides on the bearings. There was some discussion on doing a multi-part sleeve to reduce weight, but I opted for a simple full-length solution.

The result of the sleeve fits nicely into the GSXR swingarm, rides on the bearings and the stock bolt then fits nicely through the sleeve.

I have attached an image of the sleeve. This project and my others can be seen here mikesbikebarn.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=13

About an 1' wide at the pivot point, so lots of mods. I did not want to do that much work myself.
