5/5

The difference is obvious.

I was considering SP Mukawa's Hollow Bolt, but after reading the impressions of this product, my heart was moved.
There was once a time when parts called Front Fork Stabilizer were popular.
Motorcycle front fork with upper and lower Three-Pronged Fork and Axle Shaft with Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) are connected.
Quantity at the top of the bottom case between the bottom Three-Pronged Fork and the Axle Shaft, which is the longest distance.:Pair (for Left and Right) This is a Parts to increase the strength of the entire Front fork by connecting the
In the case of the CUB, the Three-Pronged Fork is only on the bottom, and the Front Fork is connected to the Three-Pronged Fork and the Axle Shaft in only two places, so it is obvious how much effect an increase in the strength of the Axle Shaft would have.
In addition, the precision of the product (i.e., as close to straight as possible) and the hard plating reduces rotational resistance.
Installation is simply a matter of replacing the OEMParts, so if you have the proper tools, it takes only 10 minutes.
From the moment the installation is complete and the Center Stand is lowered Ale?" I thought
The motorcycle moves forward as if it were on a downhill.
Clearly, the rotational resistance of the front wheels has been reduced.
The feeling of improved acceleration and fuel economy, or the feeling of sticking without Downshift on uphill roads, may be the Brush-bo effect.
While driving, the road surface conditions are now more palpable than before.
It may be that what was previously missed by Axle Shaft deflection is now being transmitted to Direct.
I like this feeling, but some may not like it.
Shaft1 pc is only 1000 yen for OEM parts and 3000 yen for SP Mukawa, while this is over 20,000 yen, and it is not a part that can be seen at a glance, so it is not considered by the dress-up crowd.
The high precision and finish of Parts can be seen just by holding it in one's hand.
I hate putting sticky Stickers on my car, but I was so impressed with how great this Axle Shaft is that I put the included Sticker on the Bottom case.
We recommend it to those who want to ride more comfortably and pursue the original Motorcycle riding style. View detail

Rear Axle Shaft

4/5

Improved Rear behavior

I replaced the rear axle shaft for the last time after the front and pivot shafts, so here are my impressions.
#The Rear axle shaft that had been in there before had no particular rust, and the Grease had not been cut.

Two points for the body.
Rear tire rotation is smoother (or feels smoother).
Rear tire is turning straight (without yaw gap).

First, I felt the Rear tire spinning smoothly around the axis.
My impression is that Bearing is working properly.
The difference between an Axel with low engine noise and one with constant speed or coasting with the clutch turned off is quite noticeable.
It is only a guess, but I think that the shaft diameter has become closer to the bearing inner diameter and the surface roughness height has become more uniform, making it more difficult for the bearing inner ring to move (so that the balls can move properly).
If # of miles have been done to some extent, the effect may be felt more if Bearing replacement is done together.

Next, a reduction in Rear blurring was felt.
I had a KOODPivot shaft and OVER swing arm on it as of before the replacement,
When Throttle was operated roughly, there was a sensation of yawing on the Sprocket side.
I was wondering if the rigidity of the connection around the Pivot and the Swing Arm had increased, causing the Frame to deflect, but after replacing the Rear axle shaft, this has disappeared.
This may also be due to the fact that the Clearance inside the Shaft and Bearing is now Tight, reducing Tire shake (clockwise Gap of the Tire when viewed from above). View detail

Pivot Shaft

3/5

It is difficult to experience as much as the front axle shaft.

Since the front axle shaft was replaced and the impression was quite positive, we decided to replace the pivot shaft as well.
#The Pivot shaft that had been in there before had no particular rust and was not out of Grease.

The assembly was done at the same time as the one-year inspection.
The fact that the Clearance was quite SEVERAL seems to indicate that this is a product that attacked the diameter Limit.
Rather than material strength, the above accuracy is a feature.

In theory, I vaguely wonder if ↓'s positives will occur.
Reduced rattling with the point that holds the shaft.
1:Swing Arm shake is reduced when banking (roll component of the vehicle).
→s ability to take advantage of sus
(The roll component generated by the gutter is reduced and the pitch component is relatively increased.)
2:Decrease in swing arm shake due to driving force transmitted from the Chain (yaw component of the vehicle)
→Tire will now be in series, increasing straight-line stability (closer to the ideal geometry Bird).
3:Decrease in blurring during acceleration and deceleration (Radial component of the vehicle)
→ braking and acceleration become Direct (rigidity of the connection between the Swing Arm and Frame is increased)

Compared to the Front change, I have to admit that the change in Pivot shaft change is difficult to understand.
It is somewhat tough to find a difference in Window shadetest.
The following is a sense of what it feels like when you try different things and pit them against logic.

Small turning is now Quick→1
The way traction is applied when →bank→Axel is on has been improved (I think).
I feel less tired when driving long distances &arr;2
I no longer feel fatigue on the left hand side, which I used to feel often, and I also feel less tired after long distance driving, probably because of this.
(thanks to the alignment of the geometry Bird due to the tilt of the Swing Arm towards the Chain side?)

Also, as a point of change, the vibration of the Engine seems to have decreased.
Maybe the movement around the Pivot axis has become more straightforward, allowing vibration to escape from the Frame through the Rear suspension? It may be just my imagination.

Based on the above, the product seems to be especially Merit for those who do Sports driving, where the suspension is fully used.
Also, if there is dissatisfaction with Suspension even in STREET use, it should have a certain effect. View detail

CODE AxleBolt

Purchased this product because I replaced the front axle with a KOOD one.
The coolness, design, and texture are very good, but the price is rather expensive, which is a little disappointing.
However, only Black is Material:I am concerned about whether the plastic will crack due to deterioration.
Repair Parts would be nice View detail
