Then stay away from stock...........

There was a rash of Apex swingarm failures in 09 and 10

Buy a DC swinger, ours has been abused for three years and held up well

Our stock 2009 swinger literally fell apart in the middle of a race. We were among many who experienced the same thing. We're woods racers by the way....

Don't know of any for sale currently, just keep an eye on the forums for used. There are a couple of aftermarket companies that make them.

The pre 2008 Apex had a 12" or 12.5" rear shock and the newer models are 14.5.

The DC swinger we have uses the 14.5"

I think the JB swinger uses a slightly different shock length like maybe 14"

I don't know for certain and I'm sure plenty others here do
