I have a 27 year old Cruiser and parts will break; it’s an old vehicle. Ever since I broke an axle, I worry about this being the latest weak point. The fact that I have replaced my broken axle shaft with an equally old axle does not help! Am I worried for nothing?
Seeing as Full Floater Axles in the US are very hard to find, would it make sense to beef-up a semi-floater axle with modern chromoly axles shafts or pursue the near unobtainable or at least very expensive FF?
One concern was not being able to drive off the trail. With a broken axle in a semi-floater you are dead in your tracks. Another concern is the slippery slope. If I beef up the axles, what is next?!! .
