I tore mine off to do the change the other night. I figured it is a good time to do it when I have the MC off and I am messing with the brake lines.
The boot for the Bi-pod joint (rearward joint) is tore and it is dry inside. The joint doesn’t seem to be worn too bad. I can feel / hear a little play, but not to much.
I called a couple parts stores. The first one was a national chain that I usually don’t have too good of results with when I’m trying to find unusual parts. The 2nd store I called is the place that can usually get me almost anything, but they can’t get this one. They can get the rag joint and that is it.
So what do you think, fill it with grease, wrap it with electrical tape and run it? I’m also trying to find the shaft from a junker that me and a buddy parted out a while ago, but it is probably gone.
