Simon,
No damage to the floorpan but the fuel tank cover copped a bit of a hiding. No damage to the actual tank though fortunately. Exhaust & muffler also dented slightly.

Spoolman,
I agree 100% with you on that. The shaft would have been stressed to the point of twisting while sitting on the line, then when it launched & axle tramped it gave up & snapped the rear joint in 2! Ball bearings all over the track :

Silverxr,
Only had a loop just behind the centre bearing (middle of shaft) so not front or rear. That's where Andra wanted it as most breakages that occur on 2 piece shafts are around the centre bearing.
After speaking with my tuner, we have decided to stick one at the rear incase this happens again, and possibly one up front as well. Overkill, but better to be safe than sorry imo.

Kael,
10's in the coming weeks! Just for you...

Motorcycles4eva,
