Hi everyone I'm Kevin from South Wales I'm 52 and currently trying to finish building my yamaha xv535 with a bolt on soft tail conversion.
Looking for help on connecting the original driveshaft and reliant propshaft together.
Merry Christmas guys

Welcome.
The one recurring point about driveshaft motorbikes and Reliant axles is that the axle usually needs to be turned upside down. This in turn means the breather has to be blocked off and a new one created on the now upturned side.
Ideally, you want the original bike UJ and fixing on one end, the Reliant one on the other end, and a nice piece of tube in between.
Preferably welded by someone who knows what they are doing so it is straight and strong

Welcome to the hospital for sick trikers.
The nurse will see you to a empty padded cell as soon as we wash down the walls. She'll bring the meds later but keep away from the green pills, and don't drool out of the windows as it upsets the locals..

I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.
