Default solid axle c3
i did the search and no one is talking about the solid rear axle in the 73' on pinks the other night. their all just talking about the idiot dumping the bike. is there a aftermarket kit for this? like fat man fab or simialar? i know theres alot of solid axle and tubbed c3's out there, but whats the specs on this?

my thoughts exactly...but pretty cool otherwise.
I don't see the benefits of a solid axle unless its a drag car but I'm sure a kit can be made. Maybe not a good business venture as I'm sure the kit would cost more to manufacture then they could sell it for.
BTW, there was a huge thread on this subject not too long ago. Search function is your friend.
