The frame bolts can be fussy as well as the swing arm pivot bolt. Lift up the back tire and wiggle it a bit and the pivot bolt should slide thru. Keep all the frame bolts loose until all of them are threaded. Don't forget to use blue Locktight on the frame bolts. Cheers

That is a great photo! Very, very cool. 

What a team mate. Look at her concentration. Look at her determination. Sleeves rolled up, hands in the middle of a tight spot. Don't talk to her now because she is busy!  Damn-it! This fooking gizmo is going to succumb to her wishes and ministrations, one way or another.

That picture is sexy as hell..... You are a lucky guy.

FWIW, I agree with you guys...  I married well.  I admit, we're still on the honeymoon (only been married 34 years) but that's okay.  One of these days we'll grow up.  I have other pics where she is upside down doing wiring under the dashboard of a Toyota off-road truck that we were doing a small block swap and several others of her grinding, using a plasma, and welding on my Ranger truggy.  Oh, she also took most improved shooter in a pistol league we did a few years back before I learned the error of my ways <wink, wink> and made all those horrible firearms go away.
