Just wondering if a pitsterpro swingarm will fit a pitpro 150XR? as im able to get a shock out of one pretty cheap!

That was actualy a manifactuar problem i would say i hav one and its strong no problem with it at all
 
The pressed out shape in the side walls of those swingarms actually WEAKEN them against an upwards or downwards bending force ... as verified by the fact that it bent right where the pressing is ... They're there purely for cosmetic purposes at the expense of strength ... Flat walls are superior strength-wise ...

The way that swinger failed is actually a good thing in one way since the load was taken off the welded joints ... It's better from a safety stand point to have a gradual failure which gives the rider pre warning rather than a sudden total failure without warning ... Consider the pressed out tear shape as creating a deliberate ???? ... "Crumple Zone" ...
