    Falco dogbone needed!

    Has anyone got a 2001 dogbone that works with a Sach Competition rear shock? Preferably uk based. Cheers

    I would be a bit worried that the spherical's are exposed to the grit 'n' shit from the roads.

    Probability factor now 1:1, normality has been returned. Anything you can’t deal with now is your own problem

    And this is probably why your concern is warranted:

    Rod end bearings are lubricated for life, but require inspection every 500 miles for smooth operation.

    '08 Suzuki Bandit, all black. I was seduced by the dark side

    Frenzies bewilder, reveries perturb the mind.

    The Rod Ends ride on Teflon, no Lube necessary, and they seal well. I wouldn't be concerned.

    But you can do it with better components for less $$ if you know where to look. Check here.
