Raptor axle

[dragbanshee]

Yep it fits, I recently bent my axle and just happened to have one from my 02 raptor, so what the hell I think I'll try it. Sure enough it fit, now the only thing is, its like 2" shorter and the threads for the large axle nuts that tighten to the carrier are a finer thread. Their finer than the banshee threads so you would have to have the nuts with the axle if ever used. I never would have thought I would go shorter with an axle, but it was a free fix and I do have spacers I used before if need be. I think it was 34" and the banshee was around 36" without spindles. Just thought I would put it out there incase someone was in a pinch and had one or just needed a shorter axle. Oh one other thing, I think there is about a 1/2" offset to one side. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, I don't think it will affect it. :shrug: Maybe I'll take pics.

Got some pics and just to let you know its only like a 1/4" offset for some reason. The raptor axle slides out from the left where of course the banshee slides out from the right. I finally got a chance to try it out and it felt good. Here's some pics of the same axle on both bikes, hard to believe they put that narrow axle on a top heavy bike like that.
