Mine was the same and it vibrated badly.
As does mine at certain speeds...
Who did you go to for the rebuild?

Andreas Mattern in Germany.
As far as I know, he's the only one that does it in Europe.
It aint cheap! But cheaper that a new unit.

Good god is he still going? I had one of his drive shafts back in the early 90’s. A good piece of kit.

I've just been looking at the price it's not bad if the bike is a keeper. At least its service-able with grease-able and replaceable universal joints also revised shock-absorber. I will certainly look into one of these when I replace mine.

I had my UJ's changed to grease-able back in 2006. Re-grease every 40-50k kms and all is well, but the rubber bit is what will eventually kill it.
Eric Demant suggested I bought one of his off-road shafts at the time but I didn't want to stump up the €550 for it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Mine too but I never noticed it until a mate rode the bike last year and bitched about the vibes at certain speeds. I took it out when lubing the back end and noticed how twisted it was. I've replaced mine with the Motorworks rebuildable vervision and so far (hope thats not cursed it!) its been fine and much,much smother. It is a bit of a bugger to get in the swinging arm though!
Yeah. If you have the standard shaft modified with circlips, you have to remove a small amount of material at the narrowest point to get it in.
Not much though.
