I didn't replace the rubber doughnut, but wish I did have as it is starting to show signs of wear... Will be getting this done shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 12d Posted 22/10/12 11:45 PM Share Posted 22/10/12 11:45 PM $800 seems pretty good considering a stock one is on ebay for $450. Maybe if its really a hassle for some guys it could be worth buying this one on ebay and getting it sent to the shop to make the new one then sell it again? Not sure what the demand is like for stock tailshafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
