Another member on this forum. Let me ask him if he's ok with me sharing his info - will post or pm. Cost offered was great - $80-$100, in North York. @ETR @JeffJones - makes a lot of sense, however time is not something I possess any of, at all :( I've somehow managed to complete my custom...

Found a place, please delete.

Aye, at this space in time, my cup spilleth, as the initial friendly response was overwhelming.

Anybody? :)

Thanks for all the real opinions. The rest, enjoy being winners. Especially mr I have to emphasize how many years I've been riding. The Internet is a great place to help with one's insecurities. I've been riding only since the early nineties, so all hail the veteran.

Thanks for the response. I guess I've failed in explaining the issue properly - I'm not concerned with the spool breaking. I'm concerned with the rear and subsequently the frame of the bike being at a slight angle to the front end, thus causing constant pressure somewhere around the steering joint.

And you are that hammer? Sarcasm seems to rule GTAM, since the early days. There is no crack. The "bend" as you've called it, is caused by the spool bolt going into the swingarm at an angle. That's all. Instead of a 90 degree angle at the point of entry, there is an 86-87 degree angle. If you...

Fair enough. Now try to imagine the bike slightly leaning to one side as a whole, until some point, where at the front stand/forks, the bike is completely straight.

Thanks for thinking. The problem is not with the spool itself, but with the angle at which the swingarm was drilled, i.e the fundamental issue comes from the hole, so short of drilling new holes and reinstalling the spools, nothing can be done, hence my question on possible effects. It's great...

Now that we're done with the token GTAM lame reply, I'd like some real thoughts from those who understand what was asked.
