What are you planning on doin with it? Like MX, trails, drag, etc. More details of what riding you do and why you want to do it will be helpful

I wouldnt recomend it. Im sure its been done but i wouldnt want to trust a weld on something that critical. Maybe for trail riding but definately not for mx. Just go with an aftermarket one.

A 1 inch or mabey even a 1 1/4 inch would do the job. I would not weld it though, it will be worth the money to do it right and get an aftermarket swingarm.
