i mostly put such choices down to intended use of the buggy first. rough terrain riding? then ditch the swingarm idea altogether if you can. do you want top end speed or bottom end pulling power? again taking that into consideration helps direct both the suspension and engine choices. next comes reverse. if you want it, then look at incorporating a polaris type fnr transmission. keepign the existing swingarm takes enough mod work to alter it for the mounting process, along with beefing up its weak areas, that it's probably just as easy to build a new back end from scratch.
