Cardan Joint question

[BillinPA]

I am gonna need a cardan joint for my EV. I was on MGcycle website and the are out of stock of the "high quality" they do have the "economy kit" in stock. Has anyone here used the economy, I am not interested in buying crap to save a buck.....I am interested in getting the parts here quickly once i shred it. Thanks

I had the u-joint on my 850T rebuilt by a member on here. Cheaper and better than new. Might be a viable option?

Local drive line company in Ocala Florida rebuilt mine many years ago when I was still riding loop frames. 
They found a Spicer (Brand Name) joint that fit.

John Chilcoine will rebuild it or sell you one with core charge.  He's in MA.  Does good work.

Tom do you have contact info for John?

I've heard the "economy" u-joint has issues fitting onto the splines, not sure if it's true. I didn't take the chance and bought the o.e.m. quality one for a customer's SP.

John Chicoine <jchicoine@verizon.net> was out of the crosses needed to rebuild the disc brake 'joints a few weeks back, but might have them now.

Thanks Charlie I will check with him. Mg is out of stock for the OEM.....guess it's either John or wait.on the OEM from mg. Sounds like the economy is not what I want.

John C rebuilt the cardan unit for my Jackal. He did a great job and I am very satisfied.

John  is awaiting parts. Could be up to 2 months.

Just out being curious, how many miles on your EV before the u joint went south?

Harper's has rebuild kits.

I've bought from them before. No hassle transaction.

I have some in stock if you decide to buy new instead of rebuild.

This is the second since new.....this one just under 25K, it isnt mangled but i heard a click when releasing the clutch. Pulled boot back and with bike in gear, rocking wheel it shows some play in the crosses. Original I replaced at 50K due to carrier bearing being bad...joint looked good but hey I was there!!!!
