I ordered one June 29th.
I received the order confirmation, but not heard anything since.....
I have sent three reminders without receiving a response.
An order for some other parts were placed middle of August, and they arrived yesterday.

From what I heard this weekend, the manufacturer that was supplying them went out of business.  I am assuming that was good info.

Isn't there a suitable substitute at NAPA ??  They might be able to match it up....

It's not just the u-joint. It is made with splines on both ends.

Yea I was just looking it up on the fiche and that is how it appeared...... Thought that to be strange so I went and looked at the spare one I have in the garage.  They should have made this with a replaceable joint instead of pressed in with the yoke.  Oh well..... good luck.

When I got my Valkyrie almost four years ago, I bought a U-Joint for just in case... they were back
ordered then too, and it took a long time to get it... at least Honda is still making some every
now and again...

good luck...
