hey

was out earlyer and landed slightly awkward on the back end and my shock sorta pushed down threw my swingarm meaning that its bent and my bike is like a low ride chopper now its so low its rubbin on the battery and exaust

i aint got no pics to hand atm but my bike is pritty much the same as this just not the pro version same style tho

what im wondering is have i got to get the same style swing arm as my shock mounts are pritty much the same place for tha or can i use any swing arm long as it bolts on and my tyres fit?

i.e

these?

still stuck on this really doing my head in i cant buy a new swingarm cause i dunno if its gonna fit my bike i know u have to check the dimensions off the arm as in will it fit my mounting holes and will by type fit etc

but trouble im having is finding one like my swing arm they all seem to be the type with the shock sitting onto seperate supports like the pics above

could sumone let me know if it matters?

or could i swap my style for the other style arms and just change my shock? or would i need a new frame 2?

anything would be usefull anything at all im totally stuck ( and getting bored :( )

Thx
