I found a Thai parts supplier that has alloy swingarms for 6,500 Baht, approximately $AUS200. The website is: www.thaigigabike.com/regards Mark B

That looks EXACTLY like Trouthunters swingarms.

The Thia arm Trouthunters arm I'm looking in the area around the axle/lower shock mount area. It may be the angle but, they still look the same to me.

I stand by my product and my customers are happy. I'm not sure what this guy's source is but man, that seems pretty cheap. I hope for safety's sake that he didn't cut corners on the materials. If anybody gets one, I'm interested in hearing a critique on the quality and fit.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I have Marc's swingarm on my bike and couldn't be happy. The fit and finish are absolutely immaculate. A swingarm is something i wouldn't confidently buy from a guy in a backyard in Thailand.

Another one in the UK...dunno about that!!!
Marc, do you use the standard wheel spacers, or do I need to make some up?

I bought one of Trouthunters swingarms, and it's really super nice. I put it on the racer I'm rebuilding, but if you buy one for your street bike, be careful...make sure you have the passenger footpeg mounts removed, because the swingarm did NOT fit my frame with passenger footpegs. What do you say Trouthunter??
