* About quality and texture, The black zinc plated finish gives the axle a premium look, the chromoly steel provides more strength to the axle and the lighter weight from the hollow axle reduces unspring weight. What's not to like about this product.
* About the feeling of use, Best performance axle you will find for the Monkey 125, it looks great fitted and I've sure the reduced unsprung what is a positive but with my riding I can't tell the difference.
* Products to buy together, You need a set, so you'll be wanting one hollow axle for the front too and Kitaco has you covered.
* Difficulty of installation, Installation will require removing the weight off the rear wheel with a maintenance stand, supporting the wheel in it's current position and then swapping out the axles. Also a little grease over the axles prior to the install is a good idea. The process was completed in 20 minutes with no difficultly.
* Cost performance and comparison with other products, The Kitaco hollow axle shaft is double the price of the Honda OEM product which to me is worth it when it comes time to needing a replacement due to the benefits it offers.
* About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 6 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems.
* Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, If you have an aftermarket swingarm fitted like one from G-Craft, you may want to take measurement before ordering to confirm it is still suitable. Use the product reviews to assist in making a decision on your purchase.
