HEIM JOINT FOR SHIFTER

Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2018 4:18 am

Does anyone have a source for a 6mm Right hand thread Heim joint to replace on a shifter? Want it with a stud mount. Would like it to be sized similar to OEM. I've searched but most are bigger and or clunky looking.

Thanks
Jt

Hi JT,
Here is where I got mine when I rebuilt my linkage.

I buy used shift linkages from Yamaha’s R-1’s and use the knuckle as it fits our shift splines. It is also made from aluminum so it is lighter than the Honda ones. Then I get the helm joint from he likes of where others have shown.

Hope that helps. Peace, Jim
