Whos got an M2 axle?

[Andrew88M]

Anyone on here have a spare M2 axle that I could take measurments off for some sliders to fit the older buells?

I have a spare X1 axle... the same as an M2... as long as the M2 has the aluminum swingarm, i forget if the earlier ones had the steel.
you making a couple sets? Id like a rear set. When you make them... make them so they fit over and cover the bolt and nut....

 

[Andrew88M]

once I get them drawn up and the design figured out I will post up pics of these before starting production. I will aslo try to locate an x1 or m2 in the fayetteville/fort bragg area to test fit on so if anyone is in this area please contact me. They will be spooled rears as well and If I can get guys who are interested in these to post up on here that would be great so I can get an idea of how many sets to machine.

what would they look like? i'm a little over an hour and a half from you.

I'd be interested. If they'll work on a 1998 S3 Thunderbolt with steel swingarm.

I'm gona see if I can spool these without making them look tacky and really long but they will cover the axle nut, they will look like the xb unspooled axle sliders if I can't spool them without them looking tacky plus with the nut there it might not be possible if they are too wide for a workstand, this is something I'am going to check into. I will have to check on the S3 if the axle and swingarm are the same as the M2 and X1 then yes.

I have the earlier swingarm , Pur Pony has the newer one.

 

[pur pony]

i still think the steel swingarm and aluminum use the same axle...

 

[aaronbuell]

Thats what I thought but wasn't sure.
