Dont know how i missed that 1. Thats the swingarm I have except mines only 3. Mines the silver vein 1 and not chrome.
I broke it in half. The support tube where the shock mount is broke on the left rail and the upper suppoort broke on the right rail. The only thing holding it together was the skidplate and the swingarm bolt. I ended up clamping it and welding it back together and welding 2 more support tubes in between the existing tubes. I also plated the whole bottom side with 14 guage steel. It added a pound or two but I dont think its going to break again. I paid 202.50 on ebay for it, stainless steel skidplate and chain.

I dont know what happened for sure. We were at the trails riding, we went back to the truck to fuel up and check sh*t out. I was looking at my chain and noticed the swingarm was broke. We had been doing some jumping but I think it happened when I was climbing a hill and flipped over backwards(It also bent my axle, the carrier, broke brab bar,bent silencer, ripped header and silencer apart, broke the brake lever,and popped the tire off the rim). The crazy part is if it was from flipping it I rode on it for 2 or 3 hours after I flipped it. And like i said earlier the only thing holding it together was the swingarm bolt and skid plate/carrier.
Ive got it all back together and rode it last weekend. So far so good. I used undercoating to cover up the raw metal. Im gonna keep an eye on it to make sure its not coming apart again but its ALOT stronger than what it was so we'll see. If not I wish i would of got longer than +3 anyways.
