A heads up for those who use their Monkeys in all weathers, or wash it a lot. Look at the back of the frame, dead central and in line with the swing arm pivot, there is an oval cut out in the metal with a small 4 or 5mm hole drilled in it. That hole goes straight into the swing arm bearing cavity!!!!!!!!! Mine was full of grit and water and corrosion, so clean and lube, then block the bloody hole, or even better, fit a grease nipple!
Is that rubber coated steel braided line with a clear rubber coating or is it just steel. If it's steel you're going to want to protect those metal hangers is going to rub the paint off of them it's rubber don't worry about it. It's always a pain with aftermarket isn't it never quite like Factory the best it ever be is from the factory.

thanks for that info
Thanks for the 411 on that issue.
Wonder if flex tape can be used to cover it.

yeah rubber coated steel. Factory fit is best but rubber lines don't feel as good as SS braided lines.
