Not sure if this is true but someone claimed that the front fender bracket need to be rubber mounted to prevent fracturing. Is this true and what's the procedure- it would require enlarging the holes to add a rubber grommet/washer but that seems extreme.
Also my swingarm has slight play wriggling it w/ the wheel and shocks removed. I tightened it some more but wiggle is still there and I feel less when grabbing the spindle w/ the swing arm removed. It has brass bushings, there was grease in the shaft and bike has 15K miles. I'm assuming some slop is OK. Factory book lists torque at 40 lbs but Parides chart lists 55.
