Default Removing Swing Arm and Oil Bag on MY Rocker

I just finished removing my triple trees and lower fork sliders and had them powder coated black and reinstalled them. Now it's time to do the same thing to the swing arm and oil tank.

Anyone out there removed the swing arm and / or oil tank on a Rocker themselves? Was it a pain in the arse? Any words of wisdom that I won't find in my service manual for this project?

when you replace said oil tank after painting it a new color,make sure you titen all the hoses claps so you dont FREAK OUT when you discover a BIG puddle oil under your ride when you open the garage door the next morning.dont ask me how i know

I seem to remember your post about that.

I'm about to change mine too. Just picked up new grommets and clamps for the job. Just need my painted tank back. I've heard its a little bit of a pain.

Thanks for that! I'll definitely keep this tip in mind when putting it back together!
