Lexmoto XTRS 125 Swingarm

Hi guys,

I heard a lot of bad news about chinese 125 bikes but figured for the price I might as well try it out!! The only real thing I find is poor is the quality of the swingarm and the nuts and bolts, the bolts rust too easily and the swingarm paint comes off after a few days of rain (yeah I probably should have cleaned it, but not every day?).

Anyway, question is.. as the bike is modelled on a Honda CBR125 is it possible to replace the swingarm with a honda cbr125 swingarm? I just think the quality of the honda swingarm is a lot better and would change the whole look of the bike.

Thought I would see if anyone has every tried this before giving it a go.

Thanks

They look very much the same, the Lexmoto looks cheaper and is it costs a third of the Honda new.

Yeah I figured they look very much the same, I just think the swingarm lets it down and I would prefer to pay the extra and fit a honda swingarm and then not have to replace it again.

So, Ryan, you want to pay some extra quid for original "Honda" swingarm, just because paint come off?
