Two piece drive shaft are used to stop harmonic vibrations. But will cause a shudder on take off. They then put a rubber donut in to account for this shudder which causes other problems. When A certain car company was exporting cars to South Africa( no speed limits ) we had to test each and every car for harmonics vibrations at high speed. Some cars where shocking at 160k. The GT series had a carbon fibre wraping to help stop this. The Harmonic vibration is not a problem on short shafts. Most Two pieces have a rubber donut to stop lash these don't last under large loads. Hence why a one piece shaft is stronger ie less lash and no ruber donut plus you get no shudder on take off, ever driven a VN? you know the shudder I talk about. Hope this helps I would go one piece if you have problems with sudder at high speed get a good balance done. [Report message to a moderator]
