I told them i wasnt convinced a normal prop with wide angle yokes would work, but they said if it didnt just send it back and they'd fit the cardan on one end. Guess what it didnt work, but true to they're word two days after sending it back to them i got the shaft with new end back. I pointed a couple of guys on the club forum to them and i think they got a slight reduction in price, due to purchasing two.

But you haven't said if the DC shaft killed the 101 rumble - did it?

Yes it did for me, maybe the slightly longer prop helped also.

Oh - Ok missed that. Hmmm still have not had actually found anyone who has killed the 101 rumble on a standard setup. Lots of stories and "i know someone who it worked for" but both here and on the 101 club forum when I had access to it, I have not found anyone with a GS 101 that have actually fixed it.

Just checked the forum, other guy who fitted a standard length one reported no rumble up to 65 mph.

So, standard length - double carden?

**buffaroo** · 11th February 2014, 05:30 AM

Yes standard length with double cardan one end

Autobox and correspondingly longer front prop cured it on my old GS.

Back off the throttle at 80 mph and nice and quiet.
