Adjustable rods...

[sharky]

I'm after 2 adjustable rod set ups as below. Preferably st/st thread with aluminium fittings. The local shops are great for tractors( and I mean tractors,...not harleys) but nothing this small.

Sharky im looking for the same thing. To replace the shock linkages (dogbones). Let me know if you come up with something.

Oz, Theres loads of rose joints on ebay in various sizes...but no reverse threaded rod.
I might have found some end fittings from a R/C car...now to find a left hand thread die..[}:)]

[fimpBIKES]

i ordered reverse threaded ones through bearing traders in newy for my subframe uprights


only a M4 thread shouldnt cost much, but expect the LH thread ones to be about twice the RH ones
if u can get some 12mm stainless hex-bar then u can spanner it ;)

whats she for?
those poor little rods wont like too much bending at full extension [XX(]

Thanks Fimp. They're for the screen I'm fitting above the h/light. It needs some support and I thought why not make it adjustable.That way I can get the angle just right to deflect the wind at speed.

Just found 'em.....Steering arms for r/c car......US$2.99....4 ends, 2 rods.....50mm adjustment :D

buy the setup off a fjr1300 and you can adjust it with a switch;). It doesnt really help you guys but i get all my stuff from www.mcmaster.com. im not sure if they ship over to you guys though.

I would have thought that a good bearing shop would have had some rod ends that would suit, looks a lot like a Katana gear change linkage though.

[sharky]

I tried the bearing shops......$26.00 each ....x 4......

[megareg]

Farrrk... $26.... think I'd be casing the wreckers for linkages with rod-ends... keeping my spares hidden..

[sharky]

Have you tried asking a wrecker.[:0].....Trouble is the swivel end is usually a rivet on type.
