So far I have trashed three Banshee and three Blaster stock swingarms.
Does anyone have any experience, recommendations with aftermarket swingarms that fit the stock bearing carrier ???

Give Ricky Stator a call... I know the swing arms look to carry the stock axle carrier. You can check their website (WWW.rickystator.com)

ATVs were not made to roll down hills on their own...

Hey Mongoose, if your ATV doesn't roll down a hill on its own, it needs new axle bearings....

I ride hard, I ride fast, but those OEM parts just don't last...
I'm also on my third Banshee frame and could use a third Blaster frame. If they would only make a machine as tough as I am...

Thank you DunePilot858 !!! Ricky Stator would have been the last place I would have looked for a swingarm. They have a good picture of their swingarm for the Banshee at $335.00. It includes the Cascade chain slider that I needed anyway. Compared to what other people are selling I think you saved me some cash...Ride on!!!

Free1steven-You're right! I just tweaked my new Banshee's swingarm off a medium sized jump at the dunes in Coos-Bay Or. The worst part is it was only my third ride on the bike and Yamaha would not warranty the swing arm! I'll also be checking out the ricky stator website, thanks.
