[QUOTE="rames90, post: 183612, member: 19774"] The welding option may prove costly if you choose it. You will have to pay someone to do the welding and heat treating and you will also have to remove the swing arm from the bike. You know the outer dimensions of the swing arm and the approximate thickness of the material, do a simple stress analyis of the cross section of the arm with a hole drilled in it and an analyis if the x-section with no hole drilled in it. To simplify the analysis remember the cross section of the arm is symmetrical. If you need more explaination let me know. I did a finite element analyis very similar to this for a mounting tab for an offroad vehicle and compared the results of the simplified analyis with the results gained using ANSYS. Though not 100% accurate, the simplified analysis will give you an idea of what reduction in yeild strength you can expect. :) [/QUOTE]
