Hi, I'm considering making a one piece axle for the rear wheel of my bike which has a stock Mk3 swing arm & disc wheel mounted .
I just do not like the way the stock set up is designed with the dummy axle bored out to accept the male axle.It looks like a bad design waiting to fail,yet I have not heard of any failures.
Has any one found a generic one piece axle from another bike that will replace the Mk3 axle with out too much modification?
I think I would perfer one to fit the existing spacers rather than enlarge the swing arm slots & speedo drive.
Does any body sell one all ready made?
Thank You
