Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
I contacted Falicon about purchasing some knife rods.

That seems a bit grabby, but then they probably aren't a standard stock item, the 450's are around 200-250.
In my opinion the Carillio is a superior rod to the Falicon, I've seen them fail whereas I've not seen a Carillio rod fail.
It would be nice if a person could find out who was making the Titanium rods, I picked one up on ebay, it was/is a sweet rod and tough as all get out.
Danger4u2:
Do you want this rod for the performance?
I've never heard of any problems with the stock rod. What is the performance increase?
I read the company "line" but what is the real world increase or benefit?
$259 in lots of 10 is allot of money. I can buy 5 OEM's for that price with $26 bucks left over.
My cost from the local shop is only $46.47. for OEM, no shipping
13032-1184 Rod-Connecting List $73.47 Service Honda $55.36 plus shipping.
Falicon
240-002 Custom Forged One- Piece Knife Rod (10 PC. Min) MSRP $259. $2590 plus shipping.
If you guys are going to spend that kind of money send them a new OEM so they can measure it, then any mistake is on them.
$55.36 is a drop in the bucket to make absolutely sure it's correct.
sandblaster:
Excellent idea!
I have contacted Carillio about dealer pricing.
I'll see what they say and post as soon as I have the info.
If I can get a decent price I might be willing to place an order for a batch.
More as I know it....... :-o
don46:
If you go Carillio I'm interested.
Motorrad:
These guys are down the street from me... They are responsible for the fastest vw motors at the dunes etc... I'm sure they would make us k5 rods...
