There is a locking Diff available but it is hard too find and around 900 bucks from www.2weddle.com

There is also a "LockRite" unit on the aftermarket that cost around 300 bucks but makes alot of racket for normal driving. Its also thought to be not as good.

I know only of these two products by inquiry... I have no experience with them. SeanG 80 Westy 95 EVC
