I don't know of anyone who makes aluminum swing arms in mass production. I've only seen people custom make their own. I'm going out on a limb and guessing you are just looking to save weight? Jokersracing.com has a swingarm that is steel but smaller than stock. I'd call them and ask how much less it weighs than the factory swing arm.

If you're looking for lightweight stuff call Rath Racing since you're in Minnesota.

I make light weight aluminum MX swing-arms, a-arms, and steering stems. They all are still in testing now but looks like they should be ready for the public in March or so.

How many people have broken the stock 450R aluminum swingarm's? I have never seen one broke, maybe you guys that have cracked them can post up some pic's

Yes im trying to save on weight thats why im still using my stock swingarm but I would also like to goto a shorter swingarm for a quicker, tighter turning, and more traction wheeler. Rath is my competition, so im somewhat obligated not to use his products, he also does not have a very good reputation with us at the races. Just my opinion. Thanks guys for the info.

I've seen titanium ones listed on ebay. I'd have one but they specifically say not for mx use.

search on "450r titanium" on the ebaymotors website. take that back. I just searched and the swingers weren't there now...just the titanium a-arms. The listing does say they do custom fabrication with titanium. I am sure they used to have a swingarm too.

There is a titanium swingarm bolt listed.
