The best looking one, I ever seen was on this site, you probably find it with a search. It was a red Walsh. The thing looked sweet.

I have a Laeger's and I havent had a prblem with it yet and i beet on my quad. I got it from baldwin motorsports for $577 shipped. And as for a lsr swingarm, I can say they absolutly suck because I have witnessed many break and you can ask quad041 too if you'd like.

That RP looks EXACLTY like a Janssenn Racing swingarm, like mine. It has held up very well so far!

Hey chad do you know what conditions sanddraggon recommends there swingarms in?? I know they specialize in drag parts so could you use their swingarms for the rough conditions of MX and XC.. they look top notch..

You know im really not even sure!! I ordered mine this morning and I didnt even ask him about that! Being that I drag race too im sure it will hold up for me but Im not sure about XC and MX and stuff like that! Sandragons number is 800-574-4721 if anyone wants to ask him!! It definatley looks like a real nice piece of metal!!!

True, walsh is the best of the best for a decent price compared to roll. I would have gotten one if I would have found one in stock.

So if you want a walsh get some loot and some time to wait for it.

But if your in a jam and in the middle of race season I'd get a laegers.


:huh

Yeah I also would get a Laeger. If I couldn't get a Walsh I would get a Laeger, if not Laeger then Houser.

thats a link to mine when i put it on

Nakomis0- you my be able to predict the future. Becuase My walsh swing arm will be red soon. I like the color it is now but it won't match rest of my quad when i am done.
