swing arm pivot pins

[jimwjarmour]

Hi, guys , removed swingarm from my 2000 r1100rt to lube drive shaft splines and replace neutral switch while in there , so reassembled today but now thinking the pivot pins may have been reversed , i seem to remember there are different lengths front and rear,the fixed pin on right side gearbox is silver in colour , the rear drive is black that rang the alarm bells as black would be better in gearbox , silver going with rear drive, checked my book but see no reference about different lengths, perhaps one of you guys can help, as always thanks in advance Jimmy

Black is on the rear.
You can see locations on the MAX fiche as well

thanks GS Addict , somehow i knew i could rely on your much valued input, checked some old pictures and yes the black one is on the rear, didnt think i mixed them up, but everything looks lined up ok so thank you very much Jimmy
