So No Aftermarket Replacement Tie Rod Ends?

[KantTopMe]

I've been reading and reading and I guess no one makes replacement rod ends? You just have to buy a new tie rod? Ugh. Please correct me if I'm wrong (with info please).

Honda style is the way to go, I got a set from Walsh and they have been great. There is no direct fit from another style quad, even the Honda ones require a really thin sleeve to increase the diameter because the hole size in the spindle is too big. Walsh provides the sleeves and then when its time for new ends you can just buy new ends and swap the sleeves over. Honda ends are pretty cheap in comparison.

I've contacted Teixeira Tech since they are a FRAP authorized Distributor and they said they would have to check with FRAP. I don't believe this is something T.T. has in stock for sure. In fact I got the feeling he really had never tried to find a KTM replacement end. I thought from other posts this was something they had ready to go. I haven't heard back yet from T.T. to see if they were able to contact FRAP, so I'll just wait and see.

It stinks, because only on of them is loose just a little and I hate to replace the entire arm.

I would try the Hondas, but I'm kind of anal about these things and I don't want one that is different from the rest. I like to stick with OEM on the KTM unless I'm upgrading with aftermarket, which at the moment is very little (sprocket, Regina Gold chain, HID, etc)
