Abstract
A motorcycle swing arm support assembly includes a bushing extending through a portion of the swing arm and the frame, a spacer, and a bolt extending through the frame, swing arm, bushing, spacer, and a portion of the motorcycle transmission case. The drive belt of the motorcycle defines a loop around the spacer. The drive belt may be removed without dropping or raising the transmission case by partially retracting the bolt so that the spacer may be removed and the belt replaced. The bushing has an elongated portion that may be extended through the swing arm and the frame to pivotally connect the frame and swing arm during the assembly process.
