I just broke my Swingarm in half! It was already welded from Cracking before. I was jumping this new triple I made, you get high! I jumped ot a couple of times and it wasa fine then the next time I landed Crack Buuuurrrr. I looked in front, Everything fine. I looked in back and swingarm broken in half chain was the only thing holding it on. So I rode it back to my barn. Looks lower in back now Like a 250r. My question is Does anybody make a after-market swingarm for my Mojave? Should I just get a new one or a lakota one? Will one from a diffrent quad fit? Your opinions will help tremendously.
Thanks

I've looked for aftermarket swingarms for the Mojave and I could not find any. Aside from aftermarket, you can do one of two things. Either purchase a Mojave 'arm, or a Lacota. The Lacota 'arm is an inch longer which would help out on handeling. If I were you, I'd opt for the Lacota to get the +1. My only concern would be the brake line; will it be long enough?

Has anybody tried this?

no problem with the brake line using a Lakota arm.
There are no after market arms available that i know of. Go with the lakota and get an aftermarket rear shock if you dont already have one.

Wow Suzukiboom thats a pretty impressive bike you got there. Did anyone ever tell you your like that guy on that one movie, i think it was called RAINMAN, you sure do remind me of him. But anyways about that broken swingarm, you should definetly scrap that quad and buy something way faster like a Honda 400ex. I seen something in a quad magizine that said the 400ex was "the quad of the decade", if thats true i would definetly get a 400, but thats just me.

I may be able to help. One of my sponsors is fabricating a custom +3.5" Swingarm for me out of 4130 Chromolly. I broke mine and bought a new Mojave one. Now it's cracked. The swingarm shock mount is being relocated to allow room for the PEP Limited Mass 250R shock. The rear will have the same wheel travel as a Lonestar No-link set up. Around 12"!!!!! He's also working on a set of +3 wide, +2 forward control arms that will utilize PEP Limited mass 250R shocks, with around 11" of travel!! I should have the first swingarm for testing in about 2 weeks. The control arms will be ready for me to test in about 3-4 weeks. Would anyone be interested in these for their Mojave??

Yes, I would be very interested!! But how much would it cost? Does anyone know if they make a Lonestar axle for a Mojave and where I could get one. Lurch do you race Gnc? If you do what class do you race in? Who is your sponser?
