End Of OEM rod kits?
kaw rider:
maybe you could buy a new crank and steel the rod and other parts off of it to put on to your stuffer crank. I have a call into my buddy that does alot of mx motor to see if he has a oem rod laying around.

Reason I wanted a new rod. As I dont trust mine... anymore... and when a oem one was $55.. it wasnt worth getting mine checked for straight and magnafluxed. etc...
So no oppinion on the Versah stuff?

My thoughts on this..
exchange rate is not in my favor (aprox $1 us to .76 UK)... then I have to ship it... really dont want to be $200 into a rod kit. already have $150? tied up with backorder and half my parts in my hand at service honda..
Then again Im getting impatiant and about to order a aftermarket rod kit... which would be $100...
sooo.. guess we should go ahead and check?

I got a good friend that is high up in the kawi structure to run a query on that part. He said that there are some available but obviouisly not from the distrubution center that your dealer is drawing from.
This don't help you much because you have money down on an order already. IF not, or you can back out of the order, call dealers in other areas of the country to find your part.
Not sure what area of the country your in...

this forum and others.
In holland a oem cost me $245,- now $275,- for 2 Vesrah rods.
It will take a copple of days when I get it. Let you know how they look.
