Different size Driveshaft

A lot of this is for your general info. I wanted to replace my driveshaft , and found one on Ebay at a decent price. It came in good shape. Problem is that it is abpit 3 to 4 mm larger in diameter at the rear spline end , so it will not fit in to my classic rear end. according to the Bike bandit listing, the touring model has a different part number.
All my old drive shaft needs is a new U-joint, but Triumph does not want you to change them.

Russ you bought a R3T driveshaft. it also has more splines on it. Before you think about it you can not use a Touring rear final in the classics or standards. It has a different pitch cone angle on the bevels between the two the touring has a 90 degree bevel since the tire is smaller. If you buoght yours from Pinwall give them a call if they sent you one labled for standareds and classics and it wrong they will exchange it. I checked their site and they do not list one but I would give them a call anyway.
