This is unbelievable!!!

          I called HDL and they checked with their Honda rep and said that the U-joints are back ordered with an expected delivery date of FEB 2011!!!

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.
The question is not what you look at...but what you see...

Ditto for me also. I posted the same message last week.  What's up with HONDA?? :tickedoff:

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.
I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.

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...
