2018 axle block pre-orders

[motocenteraz]

We've been testing these quick adjust axle blocks that we built for the 2018-2019 EC, XC, and GP models and are taking pre-orders now. The bolts don't require a jam nut and the blocks are much more accurate then the cast OE blocks that touch just a corner of the adjuster bolt. We've also had many issues with the OE closed end axle nut splitting open when hitting trail objects hard enough.

The kit will include both axle blocks, adjuster bolts, and an open-end nylock nut. We'll be selling these for $90 and they are AMERICAN MADE! We're considering a drilled version of the left block as an option for an axle pull so please share any thoughts below or visit gasgaspartshouse.com to pre-order.


Thanks!

I take it that the adjuster block on the nut side, doesn't "fall out" when the axle is removed?

 

[motocenteraz]

Correct, the nut side stays in place and the left side comes off with the axle when pulled.

Awesome.
Pencil me in for a set.

My rear axle nut had a hairline crack in it.

Ordered this kit last week.

Very well made and thought out.
The axle block stays in the swing arm, not parts falling out.
Makes tire changes fast.

Highly recommended upgrade for your '18 on up bike.

Fred, If you get it organised I'll split the difference with you for a set

Picked mine up from"Fred" today, thank you again for that kind sir

If I'm motivated I'll fit tomorrow

 

[fred99999au]

Howdy Rodent. Good to meet you yesterday. Did you manage to find the motivation today? How did they work?

 

[rodent]

Nah, went for a ride on the road bike with my brother......I did look at it though

 

[rodent]

I fitted my kit today, the blocks needed to be taken down a whisker as they were too tight in the swing arm(only slightly). The kit comes with an aluminium nut which I personally don't have a great deal of faith in, so I used a steel Yamaha nut mentioned in the thread below.

All in all the kit is well made but by the time it's landed in Australia the price is a bit exy.

 

[fred99999au]

Bugger. I didnt put the locknuts on mine. Did you find instructions somewhere that suggested they need to be fitted?

I imagine that once the axle nut is tightened it should not move much at all (I hope).

 

[rodent]

No instructions, I just rather that the threads weren't getting pounded should there be any movement

Why's your bike so clean rodent?!

'Cause I don't ride it

It's only got 22 hours on it, but I am a stickler for keeping shit clean......And my shit doesn't get "rode hard and put away wet"


I do have a '12 Suzuki Bandit with 27000ks on it that still looks new........if you're interested ��
