Hi,

Does anybody know any good option to these goofy stuff, doesn't work, not long enough and fragile.

Or when can I get the original ones?

Thanks

I believe BDK might make them, but they won't be cheap.

The Ebay listing posted is from James at BDK, but through Ebay.de (Germany).

I didn't notice that Bernie. They seem over priced for what they are. The ones I had made up had a left and right thread with centre turn buckle and he only charged me £5 per arm.

Here it is in english...

I fitted a set to garys engine. one thing I would say about them is the fact that you can adjust them as you are fitting them. meaning you can get the powervalves spot on.

But their really not solid at all...and the length is not correct, unless you only turn the rod 1turn in, but then it won't hold more than 5 minutes (riding).

Found this then

Contacted Leewc, but got no response.
Anybody knows if he's still producing them?

Thanks

I must be wrong then, not

Hi
That turnbuckle will not move due to the vibration of the bike, once it is set it will stay put.

I'm going to use rose bearings and turn up my own rods. I used the arms, balls and sockets from a remote control car on my first Kr1 many years ago, which is where I suspect BDK's come from.

Yeah, possible.

Much too expensive for the crap it is.
