Shift Linkage Ends
I have an 05 CV0 FLHTC and have the HD billet shifter rod. I noticed 1 end is getting worn(ball) .I called my HD dealer and HD makes no replacement ends.I can buy after market and want to know what will fit. I know Pro One makes a set of ends that have 5/16 fine threads. Just want to be sure they are correct size or anything else that would work.

Just a standard Heim joint...get one with the right threads...available from OSH, or commercial fastener supply houses, or McMaster-Carr. I think I'd try again with OEM, though, I believe those are available...

Be sure to be careful what you get. They make numerous types of these. Most are designed way to close a tolerance to work. First set I got where chromed, but bearings were way too tight. I took them back off and used valve lapping past to try and free them up. Spun them 1/2 hour in my drill press before giving up. Before you buy them, try the bearing. It should be free to pivot. Maybe not loose but not tight. Then I found a set that were polished SS with the bearings actually loose, no shake but loose. They worked great. Think they were designed for a sail boat since I got them at a marine shop. My OEM Softail is 5/16-24 right hand fine thread. My Yamaha VStar Custom has one that is lefthand..handy but not necessary

They have them in stainless in just about any configuration you want.
The thread should be 5/16-24

McMaster-Carr has high quality stainless steel ones. I think they were around $12 for two a few years ago and they worked perfectly. I polished off the casting marks and they looked like chrome. 5/16-24 threads.
