Ok here is the night after i got my trx...Some might say it didnt look so bad but it was a pile.

The front end was shot.Had an awful amount of slack,whole bike wasnt greased regularly and the counterbalancer was off time so it rattled your teeth out when running...The head pipe wasnt even on the exhaust flange...just to show you the intelligence level of this guy...He told me he wasnt sure where the exhaust was leaking from..it was at night when i got it and i wanted to make sure it ran...i couldnt see shit really....i was/am so glad that i finally got one...

I had to get a new frame cause the vibrating motor broke EVERY motor mount and where it mounted on the frame,not to mention the frame was cracking in 3 different spots under the engine.So i went with an 87 model frame,One reason was so i could run ESR's billet motor mounts which i already i have...i will be ordering a polished bolt kit off ebay soon so the bike will be practically new....

thanks Pumashine....I bought a manual and learned how to put the crank and counterbalancer back in sync....It was alot easier than i imagined....I never knew that i could polish that axle....I was planning on buying an Axcaliber axle,but i may consider keeping the durablue now...i might be wrong but i thought my axle was steel...it looks like rust spots have formed,unless its a tarnish effect...thanks
Yes it is steel that has been chromed. Once the rust gets through the chrome you can not get the shine back. I see now the picture your talking about. I thought the chrome was just dulled up and a repolish is easy. You would have to have it stripped and rechromed now. But it is cheaper than getting a new axle. Let me know if you want to get a new one I would buy that one from you.

I dont know what you think its worth...I dont think this axle is worth much..I will need to get a shipping price for it...I dont know how much it will be...I would base my price off of that....Also i wanna mention that i dont think it is widened any...My guess is that it is the heavy duty axle...im not 100%sure

Here is what it looks like with 18inch mxr4's on it i bought from Ksrrider. I also put a new shifter on it a few days after i took these pics. I went with a -2 in shifter cause my AC propegs relocated my pegs further back than the oem pegs were originally. I wear an 11-half shoe and my foot couldnt reach the shifter without completely taking my foot off the peg. I knew i needed atleast a -1 inch shifter but i realized it wasnt gonna be enough. Then i found a -2 shifter on ebay and its perfect. Has anyone else used a -2 shifter? i havent heard anyone needing one. Its solid billet and looks trick. Ill post some more pics hopefully soon.
