Re: wrecked swingarm
Hmmmm. That's a difficult one!
I have not heard of being able to repair alloy metal but someone with more info will be along. Other than that get it polished up see if it hides it? |

Re: wrecked swingarm
I was going to say get it built up/repaired with ally weld then machined back to original....but far easier/cheaper to just buy another off Ebay!!

Re: wrecked swingarm
The same has happened to me because some moron mechanic doesn't know how to use a torque wrench. Another reason to work on your bike yourself I suppose
