APE, with the help of Crago racing, has
designed a tool-steel shift shaft. We initially designed these
shift shafts for use in Hayabusa powered Radical road racing
cars. These cars weigh more than twice as much as a motorcycle
and put tremendous stresses on the transmissions with constant
up shifting and down shifting.
The problem.....
Both the oem and currently available high performance shift shafts
were bending and flexing which wallers out and oblongs the shift
shaft holes in the cases which eventually scraps the cases.
The solution......
It is well known that APE builds the strongest, no flex, tool
steel wrist pins in the industry. The very same pins that Spiderman
McBrides uses to run those five second ETs. So why not use this
expertise to build a no flex shift shaft. And that is just what
we have done. Tool steel shift shafts, just like McBride's wrist
pins, now available for your Hayabusa.
