I have a small (but annoying) dent in the swing arm of my bike due to a low side and the rear foot peg hitting it..(see pic)
Is there anyway to get this repaired? (Im thinking not, but you never know..!)

Yes you could, but it isn't worth it.
Heating and shrinking the dent may pop it out.
Heat the dented area with a hot air gun (paint stripper from warehouse), then shock it with something freezing (supposed to be liquid nitrogen, but I have good results on petroltanks, car panels etc using iced water).
The swingarm might be to thick for this to work, but as it doesn,t damage the part is worth a try
I recently went through the same exercise on a steel swingarm. If you are after more strength, then if you touch it, it will be weaker.
Cosmetically I am sure the mag wheel people could fix it for you.
