DONT WELD IT Dont even attempt to ride on it again, it has lost all of its strength and if you weld on it its just gonna crack becasue of the heat treating is gonna be all messed up. You lookin at about 250-300 for a half way decent aftermarket swingarm. I can get you a brand new +1.25 moto-tech with no PC for 400 or so. Its the swingarm i run and i have had no problem.
Kinda wierd though because i ran a stocker all last year and had no problem. I was running a TCS rear shock and it did run smooth but i did bottom out over good size jumps
