Awesome support for the wimpy rear shaft on hobbits. Prolongs inner gearbox bearing life. Will stop shaft flex and bending with extreme powahhh. Smooth as butter, what more could you ask for? NOTE: be sure to tighten the little nubby guy that screws into the pulley securely with either an impact lightly or a strap wrench holding it well then tighten with a socket wrench. If it loosens while riding it can destroy your gearbox.

This is an awesome piece of go-fast gear. I was able to make it work with the gy6 rear variator that treats used to sell by using a long coupler nut, a piece of a piston pin that fit the bearing and a short m8 bolt on the outside to bolt the pin to the coupler nut. I also have the MLM swingarm, which is thicker than stock and with this setup the whole thing fits with about 2mm of clearance. Looks cool too.

Could V2 include holes for mounting a sideways license plate?
Regardless will buy when back in stock and figure something out

I've bent three stock input shafts from ripping, one of which the pulley locked against the subframe at over 60mph and my back wheel locked up. I rode it out but it was too close for comfort.
The hobbit input shaft is only held on one side by one bearing and a joke of a needle bearing on the end. TJTs will overvariate the front and put tension on the belt trying to bend the crank back and the input forward.
This thing seriously squares up the shaft and adds support (and push-up) you need!! I haven't had a single shaft problem since putting one of these on months ago.
