Think westtexasking has a titanium axle. BAC Technology has a carbon fiber axle.

I believe West got his from Shannon (sp) - aka BadassLt.   I pretty sure he had his made.  He rode with us at Little Sahara a few times.

I'm guessing it's over $1500 new.  I've seen titanium axles with hubs go for $1500.  I know RAD makes a titanium axle for the Banshee.

Anything can be made with enough time and money.

That's ridiculous.who could afford a carbon fiber axle. How much does that run? An arm and leg?

i never had durablue problems, i even got a sweet sponsership with them, if any one needs durablue parts just let me know i get them 10% under dealer cost. also i had a eliminator axle in the racer before the x33 but i hit the bleachers at the palace and destroyed the axle. i had buddy from local bike shop print me a reciet for the axle and 2 months later i sent it to them for warranty, had to wait alittle it didnt look new, but any ways they sent a new one with in 3 weeks.

You gotta be kidding me. My parts guy called again. They say it'll be another "30-60 days."

Post by: Kyle T on August 13, 2013, 10:14:05 am
What's so funny?

Anyway, Lonestar says they aren't making axles anymore. Get em while you can! Not for the Zilla of course. (pg)

Yeah they should have, But because one person spoke outta turn in a big operation doesn't mean you should go flame their reputation. Not many people or companies doing anything with these old birds. Most builders/ fabricators will shy away people who are quick to air out dirty laundry on a public forum. Just sayin, Its not as if you got robbed.
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Kyle T on August 12, 2013, 05:29:45 pm
OK Gil. But they should've checked before RUNNING THEIR MOUTH.

MH, I talked to Lonestar, and they don't have any. I asked them if they could make one/some, but they haven't gotten back to me quite yet. I am patient, under CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Where is Yuzuha anyway?

Charles, I grow impatient with your constant negativity. I find your lack of faith disturbing...

86, they sure aren't going to sell ME any products.

Durablue seems to make and sell lots of stuff too.
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Chuckie25 on August 12, 2013, 04:53:32 pm
Lmao..... (Legitly eating popcorn right now so it's even better!!)

Side note 1: Having a popcorn machine is AWESOME.

Side note 2: I've never had any problems with Durablue myself. Are you sure you didn't just PLAN to call them? And something misshapped?
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Dangerouspower on August 12, 2013, 04:42:34 pm
how do you guys get ahold of Jason? Does he still come on here and just not post.
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Buckeye513 on August 12, 2013, 04:41:32 pm
If you're ordering parts through anyone but Jason from Honda east you're not gonna be as satisfied as you could've been.
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Motoman991 on August 12, 2013, 04:22:23 pm
Durablue makes a quality product.  I would always contact Jason first about parts.  He's the man and hooks it up.
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Dezsled on August 12, 2013, 04:10:07 pm
Exactly.... Jason is who you should be buying thru.
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Dangerouspower on August 12, 2013, 04:07:02 pm
Should've just got a new one from ebay... I get everything off ebay, and motosprt. Also yuzuha.

Took 3weeks to get mine 7yrs ago. They were getting chromed? lol! got it and shitty chrome job rusted within a couple rides.. Think LSR uses durablue to manufacture theirs. Axcalibur by far best axle for Zilla I've seen heavy but pretty lol..
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Gillio on August 12, 2013, 03:43:33 pm
Lied to or have someone in a decent sized company tell you they can produce you a part for a 20+ year old machine with out checking material/tooling inventory? Big difference there.
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Kyle T on August 12, 2013, 03:31:52 pm
I'm sure they are good stuff, but I'm not buying ANYTHING from them because of this incident. I don't like being LIED to.
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Gillio on August 12, 2013, 03:29:24 pm
Gotta say, I have a bunch of durablue stuff. Never had any problems. When I bought my axle off ebay I didn't realize it didnt have any of the hubs or hardware. I called them and they sent me everything I needed ( for the cost of the parts of course) and did it in a quick manner. I think 2-3 week lead sucks when it gets blown, but It could be worst (refer to the mhr thread). 
Title: Re: NEVER BUY DURABLUE PRODUCTS
Post by: Kyle T on August 12, 2013, 02:50:45 pm
Thanks Mitch.
But I'm so disgusted I don't even want to buy an axle made by them.

I ordered a DuraBlue eliminator +2+2 axle for the Zilla I'm restoring for a friend at the very end of June or July 1st. My parts buddy did some digging, and Parts Unlimited didn't have one, so we went through Durablue. They didn't have any in stock, but they said that it'd take "2-3 weeks" to get us one. Well, that time came and went. My buddy called them the last week, and it rang for 5 or so minutes, so he hung up. He talked to the "big boss" today, and you know what those M-----------S SAID?!?! THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE STEEL TO MAKE THEM, AND IT'LL BE ANOTHER "8-9 WEEKS"!!!!! WHAT THE FLYING F--K KINDA AXLE MAKER DOESN'T HAVE F-----G AXLE STEEL TO MAKE F-----G AXLES FROM?!?!?! I ENCOURAGE ALL QUADRACER/ATV ENTHUSIASTS NOT TO BUY ANYTHING FROM DURABLUE. I just contacted LoneStar about axles. Let's hope it goes somewhere.
Thank you for listening.

Well, Lonestar says they don't have any more. I asked if they could make some or know of someone who still makes them. Dammit.
