    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey everyone, i just though i'd share this with you guys as it has changed my world.lol. Little backround; my bike would only go into neutral rolling, so when checking through things i found my shifter linkage rod was bent and the ball joints nearly destroyed. I looked for a replacement, but this part was discontinued or maybe i just suck at research. Anyway i decided to go with heim joints and all-thread to do the job.

So to do this, i took a grinder to the intereference fit ball joints from the backside of the pedal and back side of the splined shifter input clamp - thingy.
I hit up mcmaster carr for the 1/4" heim joints and matching threaded rod. BTW, these are just rated for 3800 lb static load....

I tried a LHT - RHT rod and joints for easy adjustment and tunability, but i could not locate fine-thread left hand threaded anything.

Anyway hope u guys enjoy.

I think you should find a nicer feel to your gear changes if you adjust things so so the 2 arms your rod ends attach to are pararel? to each other. It looks like the front one is at least a spline out.
Happy shifting Beamer12
