Got my new swing arm and between the two bearings there is a tube that is free floating. It is inside between the bearings ? Is this normal ? What is it for and how is it supported?

That is normal. Glad to see the grease on the bearing!

And how about that shiny green swingarm...
Almost chrome-like!

Been working on some custom things
Hopefully getting swing arm and other recall work done, along with few other goodies to follow.
Once together I'll post some updated picks

Thanks Painter, just odd to see that tube jiggling freely between the bearings. How is it held in place once installed?
Wondering if I should manually smash more bearing grease into those bearings before they install it ? -
Grease looks good. Spacer tube will be fine once axel installed. I've seen new ones with very little lubrication... this one looks good!

I would almost be tempted to try and pack some Lucas Red-N-Tacky grease into that bearing...
My new swingarm is over at my dealers in a box... I may swing by there and grab it and paint it also.... If I do I will probably do a repack on the grease. I just love that Lucas grease.....

Yup that Red "N" Tacky is in all my axle bearings, snowmobile suspensions and Bobcat grease points. It's all I buy!
