So im working on a new to me 05 FZ1 and look like somone forgot to add the rear spacer on the sprocket side of the wheel and now the bolts chewed into the swing arm. What do you guys think? Send it? or am I asking for trouble?

I've got too many already, I think I'm good.Buy a car.
I guess as the rear wheel shifted to the left it did so gradually enough for the studs/nuts to cut the swing arm like a cutting tool in a lathe.... as opposed several big whacks.As requested some more pictures.
I honestly have not been able to feel any of this happening but after some further investigation looks like the coller around the wheel hub where the seal and spacer go has been eaten away as well. The sprocket bolts are not bent however just have left over aluminum stuck to them from the swaybar.
I only discoverd this because my bike felt wobbly at low speeds and I decided to investigate rear wheel alligment. Sure enought it was no alligned, go figure. I guess the coller of the wheel hub is enough to space the bolts from the swaybar but over time it ground down and probbaly slowly ate at the swaybar only reason I can figure it wasnt a violent discovery.
I put the bike together for now and have been able to locate a new(used) swaybar for $60 in black and a replacement wheel hub.
