JB weld wouldn't do anything for that. Get it welded or its just guna it worse.

only problem i see with just welding it you may want to have it looked over to make sure its not bent and the carrier will still be straight and true. looks as though you cliped a tree or some at a good rate of speed. not sure how else it would crack like that unless maybe you do alot of jumping or just a bad products with bad welds little more info please

na idk...i havent riden in about a month or so. i just got my parts in yesterday for my carrier and such, i honestly cant remember if i hit anything, but if i did, it was a rock or something of that sort. the jumps around here are probably 30 foot jumps and you land flat, so maybe that could be it..

yea landing flat is real hard on a bike. make sure you get the swingarm checked out
