CG is right. To make them long and not whip at speed, they need to be huge in diameter. Even then, I would still hesitate at having a shop make one. if you could find an OEM one, and make it fit, then I'd say go for it. But the fact of the matter is, most shops that would make them, shouldn't. And, there is nothing wrong with a 2 piece shaft that is done properly. They've done it for ever, and still do it today.
