thanks alot for the link/pic... it has nothing connecting the swingarm together by the pivot area ...is it still as strong as others that do connect in this area ??? the clamp on the rear is only 2 bolts instead of 4 is there any problems with this setup??you say you do mx with it so it must take a beating without twistin but how heavy are you? (if you dont mind me askin)...i was thinking of getting a +2 ace swingarm but im 235lbs and the non connected pivot area and 2 bot rear has me wondering if its strong enough... what do you think ??? anyones opinion would be great...thanks

Sorry i am working out of home for 2 weeks, i am without internet. I haven´t any problem with the weight (only i weight 130 lb). The 2 bolts on the clamp area seems to be very strong. The pivot area are similar to the stock swingarm. The swing arm comes with needle bearings, and for installation you need the stocks pivot bolt, collars, spacers... The swing arm haven´t got the chain guide, and you need the stock chain slide. If you ask for skidplate mounts, you need to cut stock skidplate on swingarm linkage area.
