Octane driveshaft

[BRICKTOP]

Hi
Does anyone have a nice undamaged drive shaft for a polaris octane they would like to sell? And be willing to ship to the uk?
Or is there an alternative shaft that i can use?
Thanks

So I took my scored up drive shaft to a machine shop and had it sleeved. 395 dollars later and here's what I got. Beautiful job. The bearing is for the housing. I opened it up and found 2 little tiny blobs of grease. No wonder the other bearing exploded. I packed the new one with grease

I just saw this post. I got the complete running gear out of an octane that fell out of a truck. The idiots threw the hull away. I traded it for a 61x dual 44 setup and an msd enhancer lol

Nice. Guy in my area had an octane for sale $7000 with fresh motor and tubbies etc. If I didn't have one already i would have bought it. Looked really clean.

You can take it to a machine shop and have it sleeved. Half the price of a new one.

Or you can buy an MSX driveshaft on eBay for $50. It’s just 1/4” shorter and thicker in the center

What do you do about the bearing housing then?

Same bearing and seals

Its the same size.

Well it's either the same Drive shaft diameter wise or it's got to be different bearings and seals. Which is it? Lol.

It uses the same bearings. Same threads and splines.
