Re: Jocalopse from Canada

Never did build the rebel 250/diesel, life happened and I wound up selling any accumulated parts. Ho Hum Currently riding a Yamaha V-Star 950, nice cruiser. Still dreaming of a diesel...

It usually consists of two half shells with rubber pucks between to dampen shock loading, much like the cush drive in a motorcycle rear hub. They are usually available in many shaft sizes, with associated k...
