Worth fixing

Is this swing arm worth getting fixed. I know my local welding shop could fill in the hole for me. But should I try and find an undamaged swing arm instead? Thanks guys

You can fill the hole, but it will not give you the original strength of the parent material unfortunately.

You can fill it. It will be fine. Riding with the hole still there will probably not be a problem either. Those swingarms can take a lot and a small hole is not gonna make the swingarm a lot less strong.
