This is an EASY install - Replace the sloppy stock linkage ends in 5-10 minutes!
"Very easy to do and I think it looks great. Biggest plus is the shift feel. Doesn't feel "crunchy" anymore...feels very solid." -Pachuco

Great end result but took some modifications 0 people found this helpfulI've installed many products from DKCUSTOMS. This was the most troublesome. Clearance between the front heim and cylinder was tight. I had to grind the bolt head to clear the cylinder fins, otherwise it was dragging the cylinder fins when shifting. Positive shifting afterwards, but took some modifications to work. Still another great idea from DKCUSTOMS!

Great improvement over stock, but... 0 people found this helpfulThe joints themselves are well made and vastly superior to the stock junk. However, for the price plus shipping, it would be nice to have two correct size stainless bolts included to complete the install, or at least a listing of what is required. Instead, I had to research the correct length, pitch and size, then run to Ace Hardware. For my '22 RGS, the front required 5/16 x 24 x 1 1/4", the rear 5/16 x 24 x 3/4 or 1"
Response from store
I apologize for the lack of clarity. The bolt size can vary from bike to bike, which can sometimes cause confusion. We’re working on better educating our Customer Service team so they can provide more accurate assistance in the future. Thank you for your business and for taking the time to leave a review! MB -
Easy to install. Great improvement in shifting. Peace of mind that I won't be stranded from linkage break 0 people found this helpfulThe parts arrived promptly. The instructions were easy to follow. Installation was as quick as shown in the video. Quality pieces of hardware. Highly recommend.

Good product. 1 people found this helpfulGood product, I noticed improvement in shifts. Now the not so good: Bolts should have been included. Shipping these little bits cost more than the little bits. Another form of shipping would be good, they don't have to be shipped by Priority Mail. Slow mail would be fine.

Heim Joints For Harley Shift Linkage 1 people found this helpfulThese heim joints are built well from high quality materials. I installed them on my 2023 Harley Tri Glide Ultra. First ride I noticed a difference in the way it shifted was much smother. These are very affordable for benefits you receive. I have only used them for 132 miles, but I have no doubt that they will last for a long time. Good quality at an excellent price.

Heim Joints-Harley Shift Linkage 0 people found this helpfulI don't even own a Harley, but I installed these Heim Joints on three of my friend's bikes. They love them and say how their shifing feels better and it's easier to find neutral. Very easy to install.
-
Hiem joints 0 people found this helpfulTrike shifts better does not feel sloppy finding neutral now no problem just falls in these Heim joints are a must !! Another GREAt product from DK
-
threads where not finished 1 people found this helpfulone of the joints would only turn about 1/8" second joint turn about 3/4" I had to use a tap to clean up the threads!
-
Heim Joint are Excellent 0 people found this helpfulCant say anything better. Complaining about 2 bolts missing? Get a life. Every application is different. The Heim joints fixed a lot of shifting issues plus it got my face into taking out slop on all of the linkages. Keep up the good work DK!!!
-
Good upgrade, missing hardware 7 people found this helpfulI have mixed feelings on this. The Heim joints are a good upgrade. They are much more solid than the stock ball joints and make shifts cleaner and smoother. Neutral is easier to hit on the first try. However, they do not come with the 2 required bolts needed to install - annoying that it is not mentioned anywhere in the description. For the price I paid for these I should not have to run to the hardware store for bolts.

Performance upgrade 0 people found this helpfulHigh Quality, exceeds form fit function of the stock factory setup will last a lifetime.
-
Smart and simple upgrade 0 people found this helpfulThanks again DK for a high quality part delivered faster than expected. Shifting is so much better and confident. Save yourself the inconvenience and replace the stock junk
-
The right part, at right time 0 people found this helpfulI own a custom linkage, and was using the stock linkage parts….well on a ride they broke on the highway in the middle of stop and go traffic. Made it to dealership and purchased new shift linkage, thinking my custom link was obsolete. After trip saw this ad on You Tube, purchased and got the product two days later. Fits like OEM, custom linkage back on bike.
-
Very good 0 people found this helpfulOne less thing to go wrong, could've used an extra turn of thread but works fine.
-
better 0 people found this helpfulmuch better than what i had . now i wont be stranded on the side of the rode.
-
a little adjustment necessary 2 people found this helpfulBought these for the peace of mind. High quality as expected from DK. Easy install. However, my rod was apparently longer than "normal" so I had to adjust the shift rods after installing them. I also put a flat washer on each side of the joints to allow the rod to flex on the bearings as intended. I can honestly say that now it shifts much quieter, smoother and neutral is much easier to find. This is my 7th "comfort/heat" mod from DK. Will continue to support them as they always have quality and well researched products.

Heim Joints 0 people found this helpfulReplaced stick ends with The Hein joints Just for peace of mind but was pleasantly surprised how it added a more positive shifting feel. Both with up and down shifting. Neutral seem easier to find. Shipping is always fast as well. Thank you Mark

Adds durability without much cost 1 people found this helpfulThe shift linkage ends are known weak points. Now I can ride across the country knowing my linkage ends won't ever break. $30 for peace of mind is cheap.
-
welcome surprise 0 people found this helpfulThe joints themselves were unremarkable. And not in a bad way. They just simply were what they were supposed to be. Seem like good quality, etc. The main reason I purchased them was it seemed like cheap insurance just in case I found myself one day in BFE with a broken factory rod where the ball popped out. But, after installing them I was surprised to find it eliminated a frustrating problem I'd always had prior. My bike is a 2020 rgs and only has about 7,000 miles on it, but even from day one, finding neutral when parking was a giant pain in the ass. I had to be extremely slow and easy hunting for it or it'd just blow right past neutral. Up or down, it didn't matter. After installing these heim joints, it dawned on me about a week or so later that I was no longer having this issue. The factory joints felt nice and tight after removing the linkage, but still, there must be just enough slack between the two of them that it's what was causing my neutral problem. Now it just clicks in neutral with no problems. No more hunting.

Great Linkage 1 people found this helpfulThe heim joints was an easy install. Much better quality than the original Harley OEM linkage. Installed in a few minutes. Shipping charges were a bit high for the small package sent by USPS!
-
A great improvement ! 0 people found this helpfulI’ve bought several of your products and these heim joints are like all the rest. Superior quality and a great value. Fitment is perfect and the function is as described! Thanks for another GREAT product! You guys are the best! Your videos are fantastic and very informative. With these heim joints installed shifting feels and functions with a more solid feel. Makes finding neutral very easy. Buy. Buy. Buy.
-
EXCELLENT QUALITY 0 people found this helpfulHeim Joints are excellent quality, installation on my 2009 Road King Classic was not as shown on DK video though. Used my stock rod, but could not use lock nuts as didn't have enough threads so I used thread lock on them. The new joints greatly improved the shift quality.
-
Outstanding 0 people found this helpfulAlways the first thing I change on a Harley, Product does not come with bolts but no biggie. Ace Hardware has chrome section that sells them. The Harley shifter rod ends are junk and will eventually break. Buy these and have piece of mind.
-
Nice..... Very Nice. 0 people found this helpfulI ordered a pair for my FLHTK and they work great. The quality and fitment is obsolutely better than stock. No more rattling around! Of course I'm a chrome guy so I Harley hooked me with some chrome bolts and an acorn nut to top it off.
-
Great product - works well 2 people found this helpfulThese work great and are easy to install. The bolts to reattach the linkage to the motorcycle are not included. On my 2018 M8 Harley touring, I needed two 5/16” x 24 bolts. The rear needed a 3/4” long bolt, the front needed 1 1/4” bolt. I used stainless steel. These joints are slightly longer than the factory joints, so if your linkage is already adjusted to the shortest possible length, you might need to rotate the shift levers on the spline.

Great product 0 people found this helpfulThe heim joints really clean up the sloppy stock Harley part. The linkage is tighter and the shifting is much smoother. I would recommend this product to every Harley owner with stock linkage.
