"The following part number(s) are backordered from Kawasaki and have no current release date as of now. The rest of your order will ship out as scheduled. When the backorder comes in we will ship it out to you at no additional charge.
13032-1104 ROD-CONNECTING
92026-1346 SPACER"
So is this the end of the OEM rod kits? I dont see Kawasaki making any new "connecting rods" for a KX500 any time soon.
Very sad. as I liked the OEM rod kit..
So off to versah? ProX?

Change 1104 to 1184 and it is a valid part number
Motorrad:
Sharp EYE... didnt notice that...
The "order list" attached to the email had the correct part number.... I bet he just "fat fingered" it in the email.... I emailed him back just not to be 100% sure....
So anyone have experiance with back ordered (hard parts)... Am I looking at 3 weeks... 3 months... year and a half?

RoostDaddy:
Sometimes the dealer will be given an estimated release date on back ordered parts. But again this is only ESTIMATED.
Last rod I had put on was an IMS Pro Series, I dont think they've been made for a while so goes to show when the last time mine was replaced.
