Houser swingarm question
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I just installed my new houser swingarm, and noticed that there are a couple of holes in the bearing carrier housing that run down to the pinch bolts. Wouldn't this allow dirt, mud, etc to get into the bearing carrier housing? Are there rubber seals that are supposed to go into these holes (like on a 300EX bearing carrier housing) that I missed somewhere? please help

Those are so the swingarm housing can clamp down on the bearing carrier to hold it from turning. The bearings are sealed inside the bearing carrier not in the swingarm housing. Mud and dirt can not get to the bearings from those holes!!! This is totally normal and will not hurt a thing!

Thanks for the info.
