After waiting for many months, I finally found the time to start my swingarm project. Back in winter/spring, I picked up a 2007 swingarm (and associated pieces) and this summer I painted it silver to match my 2004 FZ6's existing swingarm.
Last night, I washed the bike (and took a nice ride through the country) and then put it up on the centerstand in the garage. So far I've removed the rear wheel, the hugger (broke the front pop-up clip, since I just pried the while hugger up after removing the bolts), removed the bottom shock bolt and started to loosen the exhaust.
It doesn't look to complicated, but I've never removed the swingarm before. Hopefully I'll have time to finish the job tonight so I can ride again tomorrow while we still have some warmth left here in Pennsylvania.
I'll post pics once the new swingarm is installed.
