Looks useful for someone with limited trunk space or if they plan to carry it in a back pack, but, it only saves 7-8" in length. In my case, that isn't enough to make me want to buy one. If I'm going to travel by air, I just pull the shafts loose and pack them that way. Only takes a few seconds. I wonder if it's going to add to the "wobble" complaint, especially after it gets some wear to that joint? :dontknow:. I'm sure it would cost more, but, I'd rather see a kit with it's own center shaft, so I wouldn't have to cut the stock one. Maybe one that would combine the middle and lower shaft into one, thus eliminating some of the factory wobble. :icon_thumleft:

I'm like Cuda, if the OEM shaft wobbles now, I wonder how bad it'll wobble when you put that side swinging adapter on... "D"

Looks handy in some situations, but my beef would be that you have to hacksaw some of your OEM shaft off, so there is no going back!
