Default Flush Mount Axel

Considering one for my front & have a few questions:

#1) Any known issues or reasons to not do it?

#2) Any particular makers that have a proven rep?

#3) Any particular makers to stay away from?

#4) Not needing to do rear but would consider if there's a reason to do both.

This forum has been a great help for me and I really appreciate the input ~

Had mine installed recently on my 15RGS. I went with the Yaffe brand. Found a good deal online and he has several different options to choose from

I've got the Yaffe; very nice. Got it at direct cycle parts.

I purchased mine from Fat Baggers after seeing it installed on a friends bike. In the process of installing gloss black lowers, and I'll install it when I get my wheels back from being powdercoated.
