I also replaced my linkage. I could tell the difference it the way it shifted right away. I am a machinist by trade so I took the liberty to fabricate my own linkage, along with the spike bolts to install. If you can see in the picture I also fab'd the axle caps to match, and the three windshield bolts.
It is one of the first things I replaced on the bike. I just couldn't stand the factory rod!
Holy Hanna! How do you post pictures on this sight?.....Woo hoo...I figured it out! I hope!!

I had to add a few washers...
You must have the rod ends aligned to "swivel"
Washer was added to give me the side to side motion
In the Rolls Royce world it's called "twizzle"
If one end is turned right and the other end turned left, they will bind and possibly break in time.
