drive shaft

Hi

Got my engine the other day (bike) and the sprocket is further over to one side than expected I was wondering what sort of angle it is acceptable to put on a drive shaft. I am building mid engine so it is from the engine to the diff and relatively short 30/40 cm from centre of the joints.

Ps I have also posted in the middy bit as well

The other option is to mount the diff off centre. This is pretty much the setup with the powertec quaife unit. Means you need different length drive shafts. From a balance perspective it would probably be better to try and get the engine centrally located rather than the diff.
