- Hard chrome-plated body and ball for corrosion resistance and long-term durability under harsh conditions
- Loader slot design provides increased strength and improved shock load resistance compared to standard open-slot designs
- Available in 1/4-28, 5/16-24, and 3/8-24 right-hand thread to suit a wide range of custom linkage and control applications

Fitment Notes
- Fits any custom motorcycle, trike, sidecar, or ground-up build that uses a standard heim joint of the supported thread size
- 1/4-28 thread suits lighter control linkages, clutch perches, and tight-clearance brackets where compact size and modest load capacity are sufficient
- 5/16-24 thread is the standard pitch for most Harley-Davidson shift linkage applications
- 3/8-24 is widely used for brake torque arm and caliper anchor applications requiring higher tensile strength
- Thread direction is right-hand only, so verify compatibility with existing hardware before ordering
- Review the Fitment tab for complete application compatibility details
