If you want the full linkage they are everywhere, HD, Kuryaken, etc...

If you're looking for the heim joints, this is where I bought mine but I'm sure you could find 'em on eBay too:

Thanks Stro. I just ordered a set.


SD06, the part on your shift linkage that you have now will fail and your linkage will fall apart. It happened to mine last summer and my scooter was only two years old.

i know that you've already ordered yours, but if someone else is interested, racebasics on ebay. 5/16 - 24 rh female heim joint. 2 plus shipping comes out to 8 bucks and some change. great if you don't have to have the chrome ones.

The stock shift linkages' ball joint ends are somewhat prone to failure- one way to fix it is with the above mentioned heim joints
