form what i gather there is only one mx style swing arm that will fit and thats because it has a higher mountin point for the shock otherwise it rests on the frame
you would need to get a new mount welded on frame, to fit a mx swinger on

Re: thumpstar pro elite frame

yeh i thought bout movin the top mount but i reckon it will ruin the look of the frame. would have to be a good weld to look the part and im more prone to the hedghog look when welding.

do you know if a subframe off a diff bike would fit the frame as i have snapped the lugs for the seat to sit into. ive found a brand new one for 40 quid but would rather use one i already have it will fit
