Ron,
Sorry to hear this. If you have pics, send them. I'd like to inspect the 
failure. I wouldn't expect help from Ducati, though.

You might want to consider looking for a steel CR swingarm. They should be 
inexpensive.

If not, I have an aluminum SP swingarm which I recently purchased on ebay, 
but after receiving, it left me scratching my head as to whether I'd 
actually do the conversion. I didn't realize it was going to involve a 
wheel, tire, and possibly an axle. I don't really want to sink that much 
money into this bike. So if you're interested, I'd be happy to re-sell it to 
you for what I paid on ebay. Here's the auction number: 230151307998.

Please PM me if ya wanna.
