Help! I need somebody. Help!

Waiting on a day to come that is not high humidity so I can paint my replacement tank got me itching to work.

I had completely forgot I had never put my bracket and right passenger peg on the ‘ol cl350 that, some of the last remaining parts along with some godawful aftermarket stuff from my original purchase.

If you know, you know.

PO for whatever reason did not install this bracket.

Yep. Swing arm pivot bolt. Meant to go threw already installed pillion arm bracket, threw the swing arm.

Will I ever have a pillion. Not too likely. But know this should be.

To my dilemma. Talk me out of it. I wonder if I actually need to remove rear tire/drive chain/fender/ect prior to pulling the swing arm bolt. Or… on center stand, then bracing under swing arm pivot points on either from underneath, attempt to remove the bolt to install the right bracket.

Anyone attempted this?!? Should I do the full teardown?!? I not afraid of work, but also am of the work smarter not harder.

Part #10?

I would install it but seen some bikes without and they seem to be ok?

The Honda CB350 is one of the most beloved small twins of all time, a 36-hp scrapper that recalled the old adage: "It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." While Honda's small fours may get more of the attention, this bulletproof 325cc OHC parallel-twin sold

I would at least try to do it without removing everything. Like you said, with the bike on the center stand and some carefully chosen boards underneath the rear wheel you might be able to loosen the nut, slip out the pivot bolt and get it done.

You might need to secure the swingarm in other ways to keep it in position for the pivot bolt to be replaced. For example, if you had a similar length/diameter bolt, you could put it in on one side as the opposite side is withdrawn.

I have been riding with out it so far, not noticing anything too bad. I will still look at getting it on though.

Yes!!!! Smarter not harder. I smacked myself, being I had to do the same thing here at work with one of my roasting machines.
