I've had a JB on my bike for 2yrs now and not one issue. But I don't do alot of MX on my bike either. And you paid $850 :eek2: ? Payed $240 for mine. Who says cheaper ain't better ;) ?

I've been running a Lonestar swinger on Reed's YFZ, and it fits and works great.

The '06 will fit the earlier YFZ's, but you need to also use '06 brakes, carrier, rotor & hub. The Honda carrier is a different size.

I had no issues with my stock 05 swingarm - about two years of racing on it. I did break my 04, however....those ones were a bit weak.

LSR makes a good swingarm, as well.

i broke a walsh one i called him up and he basically told me he could build me one like a boat anchor that would never break and ride rigid or one ill get 3 -4 years out of one that flex's, i ended up buying another walsh one but it was a new design similar to housers, now i couldnt get more than a season out of a stocker....so being i got 3-4 out of the walsh it was better im just not at the level where i notice diff in flex but i have been running the same axle for 5 season so maybe there is something to be said for flex
