What are the chances that i would ever need a replacement driveshaft for a 95 1100 , and will the newer one piece shaft fit all ages , just thinking , can anyone give me ideas , i have a chance to get a decent 2nd hand one .
Drag starts,burn-outs and wheelie popping can stress the bonding inside the shaft (if the 1100 shaft is the same as the 1150 one i have) and cause it to slip like a bolloxed clutch.Normal use,no worries until very high mileage when you may have the U/Js fail.
A bike thats been stood for a year (in a police pound) can seize. DAMHIK. second hand one from Mworks was £80.
they quote £105 now. for a 97 on.. which I guess answers your other question.
Of all the parts on one of these bikes.. this would be one I wouldn't get paranoid about... I certainly wouldn't buy one 'on the offchance' - if it was cheap enough I'ld buy the thing and then advertise it. (being mercenary and that)
