I was wondering if the g-force axle is as good as the other big name axles, DuraBlue, LoneStar, RPM, ect ?

Anybody else?
Should i pay the extra money for something better? Or is there not much of a difference to pay the extra money?

Got one on my 450r and i'm totally happy with it for the price... only complaint is the hubs constantly loosen up ..... but my buddy has a durablue and has the same issue... so.....

The right hub on my stock 450r axle tended to loosen. I used high strenght perma-lock and haven't had any problems.
I think i'll be getting the gforce, you can't beat the price!

I had the issue of the hubs loosening too. I fixed it by getting harder spacers made so I can crank them down once and put new cotter pins in and be done with it. I had the same issue on my lonestar axle on my 416ex. once I had a local shop make me harder spacers no more issue.

If you ride hard and jump alot the softer spacers take a beating and keep squishing some causing you to either keep tighting them up till it gets to the point you need to put a washer behind the crown hut as I had too before making new ones.

Thanks for the heads up. What did you get yours made of ? How much was it? And were they acurate in size ?
Thanks,
Mike

My dads best friend owns a machine shop. He made them to exact spec. He use titanium I believe.http://www.dotphoto.com/SAN1/7E/C5/53/i7EC553C4-84F3-497C-AEB5-A7D8F0D67C13D7267784.jpg http://www.dotphoto.com/SAN1/37/8A/51/i378A5115-5322-4DD2-9463-C31A30D6898314A8843D.jpg
