Cabin Fever Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thought I would post on how I modified a GPX shaft to make it a little more compact. I cut roughly 6" off the end and drilled 7 more holes in the shaft so the lower poll would go further up into the upper shaft. Now my Monster shortens up to about 30" and extends to 4 feet. I now have lots of adjustment options from extra short to full length. I also picked up an extra lower poll to keep the second coil mounted. Changing coils is a pet peeve of mine so I like to keep it quick and simple. I've been on 4 short hunts now with this setup and can't be more happy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 OK, now that is real nice. If I had not had a Golden Mask rod sitting around for a year looking for a use I would do this instead, and frankly I like your solution better. Simple and to the point - thanks for posting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve in Idaho Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I like it. I am going to do the same thing to my GM. I have some extra straight stems to work with and an extra lower shaft for the big coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
