greetings all, this is my first post and could do with some advice.
I am working on a yam vmax and am widening the rear swing arm to fit a fatter rear wheel.
as this particular bike is shaft driven, an additional uj supported by a bearing has to be incorporated. i have all the relavent drawings and jig to do all this, but i need a splined shaft to connect the two uj's together. i had my hands on one for a while but had to give it back, but i managed to have it tested for hardness which was 56 rockwell. i have been advised by one company that the best steel for the job es EN36B case hardened to the figure.but advised by another company of something else that would do that doesnt need additional treatment. but i cant remember what they suggested of who they were.
hoping someone out there may have some suggestions. the shaft is only 25mm round and has to take an aweful lot of torque.
cheers
