I was contacted by someone with an RZV swingarm pivot bolt, and maybe I can use it to make a titanium version. That's why I started working on this.
Here's the frame. The aluminum is in good condition, but all the steel hardware is rusted out. And that is a problem.

All of the hardware is off, except the linkage bolt that goes through the frame and holds the relay arms. I soaked it in WD40 for 2 days and hit it with the impact gun about a hundred times.
Before trying to drill off the bolt head and pounding it out, I tried a breaker bar with a big extension pipe. The bolt didn't move, but I did manage to strip the hex nicely. So, I guess I need to break out the drill. Of course, the special bolt and special nut are 'no longer available' from Yamaha.
