drive shaft across first gen years ?

[6m459]

The first gen drive shaft I understand is unobtainable other than used these days.

 

I see a few on ebay but many are for later years of the first gen.

 

Is the drive shaft part itself common across the first gen years or does it evolve so that a late model one would be of no use for use in an '84 ?

 

Thanks,

Those Shafts are different. Don't know when they changed it, but yopu could IPC or the Flatout Website and look for the different Parts ' I think(!!!) it was 1986 when they changed the final Drive and therefore the Shaft also.

The shaft was the same for the 83-85 Ventures. It is different on the MKII bikes and does not seem to have been used on any other model.
