Need a couple of new good quality ones for the rod that attaches my gear shift lever to the gearbox splined thingy to change gear
skill!! besides gear change rods are pretty much all that size. on the rod you'll find its a left hand thread one end and a right hand thread the other that way you can lengthen or shorten the rod overall length without removing them completely.
you can buy ally threaded rod in different lengths on Ebay if you don't have the facility to turn it down
bollocks that explains why i couldnt get one of them back on. i was turning it the wrong way. stupidly, the rod does not have indents or similar to locate a spanner onto
both left and right here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12481246...HUz/kJSkMF8bkawuXYFFa1aTFDpc|tkp:BFBM6q7J26Vj
when you bolt it all together ideally you want the rod to be at 90 degrees to the out put lever from the gearbox and 90 degrees to the lever bit of the pedal..with the pedal in the correct place for your foot.
At the risk of making myself look stupid, I am going to say I don't think the picture in post 14 is correct. To me it's the other way round. Cheers Gaz
See here: https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/ball-joint-rod-end-bearing-specs.96922/#post-2098619 McGill motorsport sell them. Avoid the cheapest ones.
It was just a pic I picked on the internet to show there are different angles to the threads It is the other way around…
Plus one for McGill. On my GSXR track bike with Lightech rearsets (and rose joints) the brass bush holding the steel olive pushed out of the alloy casing. No chance of this being repeated with the McGill item. Quality. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18412078...luQgXR_RVK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
