 I'm doing a shock swap for my S2R1000 and didn't realize that the bolt receiver that the bottom shock bolt threads into isn't affixed into the swing arm. I was bolting the shock back up and couldn't figure out why the bolt wasn't catching the threads. I looked on the other side and realized the piece the bolt threads into fell out a little bit. I tried to seat it back in place but it fell into the swing arm. Oh my make the beast with two backsing god what a stupid design. I'm sure I'll spend all night trying to fish it out. If you guys have any advice in the meantime it would be appreciated  bang head

You could share the retrieval technique?

I guess that would be useful! I used a pick with a hooked end to maneuver the head of the receiver towards the opening in the swing arm. Then I was able to grab the head from the side with long, thing needle nose pliers to pull the head at an angle through the opening. Then I was able to grab it with my fingers.
