Look very hard and you might find an alloy swing arm from the JDM DT200R, I was bidding on one on Yahoo Japan but with postage it went to over £100 :(

Depends on simplicity of job + engineering ability.

Normal rule of thumb here is if you have to ask you cant do it.

I was after one of those bikes a while back but could never find one for sale in the UK - look really nice for a 125 and have some nice quality parts on them.

Are DTR swingarms all the same across the models?

same on dtr through to dtre up to about 05 I think as thats when they changed the rear caliper so the caliper guard fitted to the caliper instead of swingarm and the caliper mount is different so the tab that it slides onto sticks out more.. other than that identical..
