That's a good deal, rear end, clutch, swing arm, brakes and shift cable for $120

I realized that the drive is on the wrong side but I'm curious I'm not planning on getting it but I'm just curious if I took it off the swingarm and reversed it on the axle can it spin in the opposite direction? I didn't try to turn it when I was there.
I do agree it's a good deal. I could make a very long Jackshaft would solve the problem but be kind of ridiculous.

I'll be getting my live axle, hubs, pillow block bearings, etc.off of BMIkarts.com today but they have 1 inch , inch and a quarter and up what size should I use?

Right now it has 1 inch on it stock so should go thicker? The thicker are use the more I will be able to handle right?? The thicker I use the more I will be able to handle right?

I had a 1.250 diameter 4130 chromoly axle and bent 2 of them during launch, if your not going to Drag Race it on Asphalt you might be good with that one. Be sure to mount an axle carrier bearing on each side of your sprocket, you need the support, the engine pulls on the axle and if you don't support it good it will bend no matter what your driving on.

Keep that transaxle in mind, would work for a jackshaft and clutch design that would retain FNR, and the factory style clutch. This in theory works but nobody has done it that I know of, and the driving clutch would be pretty pricey

Eventually I'm going to take a Harley EVO engine and modify the crank output for a drive clutch. Same concept that Polaris uses for their big ATVs. May have to use a transaxle from a John Deere Gator to be strong enough.

Ok Rifter but if I am going to drag race or just be hard on the launches like burnouts and donuts then what size do you suggest? 1.5? diameter

Will do cfherrman... I don't think it's going anywhere either. plus they had two of them. one was on an easy go but the cart was in two pieces and they only wanted to sell it as a whole for 4 or 500.
