Default Replacement Heim Joints: Where?

A while ago, I had posted up a thread about buying an aftermarket shifter linkage for my scoot & a lone member replied with this:

Regardless of what you decide about the shifter linkage, buy a couple of replacement heim joints for the ends and get rid of those barrel-shaped pieces of crap that HD puts on stock


Where can I get these replacement heim joints? Who gots?

You might find something like that at a auto speed shop that sells stuff for multiple carb set-ups.
