different drive shaft

thanks guys. i gotta say it was way harder gettin it to here then i thought. tryin to figure out where to start and how to keep everythin square and lined up was a bear. i need to get some more tubing and am goin to chicago for a week so itll be slow for a week or so. still gotta make an axle too.

 

Any way you can turn that spacer a bit more??
Get an inch off the diameter? Taper the middle? Hollow it out??

You know the driveshaft spins 4.13 X faster than the tire.

 

not too much really. it is hollow and only a small amount bigger diameter than the shaft mounts. i could scallop out some down the sides but we couldnt figure out how to keep it balanced.

 

this looks amazing! Can't wait to see more progress

 

How 'bout a new coupler at the other end?
The hard part would be the splines.

 

been real slow,im right in the heart of racin season and its been takin all my time and money and then some. here is where im at now.

I have read a xv920 the rims and tires are a direct fit on the 82 maxim,,,, so maybe that would mean the driveshaft would be too.... it looks a little longer,,, anyone know??

 

Look in the first post of this thread for spec on drive shafts.

Still working on my stretch of a 650 using an XVS1100 shaft.
