raptornz...very good info. My stock swingarm has held up fine to the type of riding I do which is 75% dune riding and the rest is deasert. No MX. I am afraid of heights [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] and only get higher than 6 feet off the ground when I am in the dunes and have hit the jump enough times to be confident to realy launch. If I was as agressive as you and did high flying MX I would probably step up to your setup.

I am guessing that a stock aluminum swingarm would fail under your conditions weather it was extended or not. I assume your stocker cracked at the pivot bolt?? The cromoly LS Baja is obviously much stronger and dam nice!

Yep, most cracks were around the right front pivot bearing area on all 3.

I used to be a high flying maniac on my motorcyle.

I have had too many injuries in the past so now I have a quad. Broken back, 2 broken wrists, broken hand, broken elbow, broken kneecap, bla bla bla.

No more snow skiing, just GLAMIS!!! in the winter time now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
