Remember, you get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap one and it breaks then you have to buy another one or go back to the stock one. If you're going to modify a part like a swing arm, get a good one.

There is always the option of machine shops (depending if you have any in your area, and so forth) but with the one where I am, if you give him the exact dimensions, measurements, and a couple rough pictures he'd throw out a bad a$$ looking swinger for usually cheaper then any other company.

No idea if you have a wallet full of cash go hard and buy whatever you find, though if you're looking for something original (and by no means weak) phone up a local machine shop.

Check out the Tucker Pro Arms.......they are good swingers and not real pricey....

And I have to disagree with the statement that you get what you pay for......it seems to me, that we in the ATV industry have a theory that if it's not the most expensive thing out there, it's just not the best. Not true.....there are many smaller companies who aren't out to rip everyone off that make a darn good product!!! I say it's all about the warranty - if they will back up their product, then go for it! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I purchased a Tucker swinger for my Raptor close too 2 years ago. Powdercoated, twin row carrier, and a 120 link chain for a little over $600. No more front end clawing the sky all the time unless I want the front end up. Tracks STRAIGHT at high speeds....no way you can get the axle perfectly straight with the stock set-up. One of the best purchases I have made on my Raptor. I tweaked the brake plate and called Jeremy Tucker up. He said they updated that part for the dirt guys (sand is easier on the brake plate). He sent me one out ASAP at no charge and apologized for the inconvenience. Awesome product and service.

I agree, Tucker is definitely the way to go. The swingarms are top quality, they have a 5 year warranty and awesome customer support. Plus Jeremy is a really cool person. Here's a pic of a custom one he did for my husband's yfz.
