Right on man! My 88 swinger is **** right on the swingarm bearing area. Probably just from having bad bearings in it for too long. I bet there is some material onboard and if you find a pipefitter and a machinist buddy, you guys might be able to build a bad to the bone swingarm in your spare time! That'd be way cool. I could draw a blueprint of my stock aluminum swingarm, and send some pics if u want.
