anyone with a broken front arm in an apex?

[06RTXRider]

I've got an apex rtx with what looks like a crack in the front suspension arm of the monoshock. Just wondered if anyone else has seen this.

Thanks swiss, i guess i'm not alone. Does anyone offer an aftermarket? The rust doen't really bother but the crack is whole separate issue. Ther is always a trade off when trying to save weight.

the only reason they rust is because of the flex at the weld of which is why they end up cracking. i've already broke three front arms in 2 yrs.
