how many miles your bike done?
in 40k i never had it have to be done and thats with all the snow on my back wheel!
if you have the tools and the means then do it yourself!
easy job as its one bolt that goes through to hold the swing arm on!
addmitedly had my bike in the shop for a swing arm change cos of some back break explosion dammage.....but was quick job as they only had it for the afternoon.
sorry i cant help any more than that.
but do have bits from old swing arm!
