The shaft sold by BPoU is a much better designed and stronger then the factory unit. A couple pluses for it are it is all American made, no parts from Chins and it comes with a greasable centering ball joint that most don't have.

 

I'm just north of T.O. and i have all my parts, for everything shipped to CBI in Niagara Falls NY, go once every 2 or 3 months and pick it all up. its 6 bucks a package and they dont have a time limit on how long they will hold it.

Absolutely great and its saved me literally thousands of dollars over the years in brokerage, additional shipping etc etc.
