i think when i build a new swingarm i will replace all the rear end components with lightweight banshee or 250r parts should save quite a bit of weight.

I am in the process of designing and building an aluminum drag axle. I will test it and let you know how it goes, if it passes the test, I will be selling them. The stock axle is 10lbs, these will be 5lbs, that's a huge difference for rotating mass!

most other axles have the sprocket on the left side can it be switched to the right easily?

17lbs, but the big thing is the rotating mass of the rear axle!
