is this posible , if so how difficult .


or can anyone repair shockabsorber in original shaft .

Have you looked in the 'Search' facility? There's shedloads about driveshafts on there. Do you want to replace the one you have or get an improved version?

When I thought mine had failed I contacted Erich Demant, and was quite impressed with the info he sent

Rephasing driveshafts

We have here a fellow who rebuilds paralever driveshafts and puts them back in phase using urethane rubber, which is supposed to last about three times that of the stock natural rubber dampers.

He did my driveshaft and it looked great. Here's the ADVENTURE RIDER discussion thread:

Why would you want too

The cost of all the parts would out way the project

1/ you have just ordered a drive shaft that will out last the stock one.

2/ new shaft is not the same as a monolever.......

3/Rear wheel for Mono has a different stud pattern

4/ shock is different

Paralever good points.
Paralever rotates at the rear pivot to minimise the torque re-action from the diff ,which in turn means that when you twist the go leaver the bike will not rise as much as the mono (handling). This also works in reverse, when decelerating the bike does not sink on the suspension, unlike the mono.
