sorry...for some reason i keep saying RPM.....and thats not a bad deal for 800......i wonder what grade titanium they use....cause they could be using a lesser grade of TI. Id bet they are using a lesser grade..otherwise theyd be making no money. And that bearing carrier doesnt look like a solid one...like a two halfs desgn??....looks a little cheaper tehn a solid one...but still a pretty nice set up for 800.

I have a RAD Ti on one of my R's, I have had no problems whatsoever. It did not come with a bearing carrier though.

Ti bolts:
Swingarm, Shock, A-arm, etc. May be a good place to start?

400ex axles will work, right? They make them for a 400.

Whats up? I have alot of knowledge about ti and applicatons. Look an axle is not a good idea at the stock diameter. You have to increase the size to just under 2 inch. This will require a bearing carrier made to match. The rad axles do break at the snap rings. If someone hasn't broke thier axle yet then they don't ride hard. Even moderate motocross will cause them to crack. Plus rad can't make an axle as the price of material has skyrocketed. Hasn't made one for more than 4 months. If you will also notice he now will only make an axle that is 35 inches. way to short. Not even stock length. This is because when a ti axle is long enough for motocross it will snap at the snap rings. This is the kicker material for one axle is now 475 for stock diameter and over 550 if you design at 2 inches. Email me with questions I have acess to material that no oneelse does. I have the only aarm material that will work.
