The HD Front Slider Cross Shaft fixes the stock shaft bending and breaking issues. The upgrade shaft is nearly as light as the stock, with the center of the shaft built much larger to prevent flexing. The HD Front Slider Cross Shaft kit also includes replacement high strength mounting bolts designed to add strength to each shaft end to prevent breaking. This high performance cross shaft replacement makes the cross shaft strong while light weight. The Front Slider Cross Shaft is a must for the aggressive trail rider.
