 You may THINK it will survive . Experience and practice says it wont.

In Greg's behalf, what's the rpm and actual side load here? I doubt we
are near the bearing's limit. Most Guzzi bearings puke because of lack
of lube or spinning in the swingarm or more commonly in the
u-joint/bearing i.d.
I think you could smash the swingarm with a hammer to retain it and it
wouldn't be the first cause of failure.
