Honda Talon Upper Ball Joint

The Heavy Duty Honda Talon Upper Ball Joint from Black Ops Machine is engineered for riders who push their machines beyond OEM limits. Whether you clipped a rock, landed a jump too hard, or ride with a full-send mentality, factory Honda Talon ball joints are a known weak point. This Talon upper ball joint upgrade fixes that problem—permanently.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for Honda Talon 1000R and 1000X models, this Honda Talon upper ball joint follows OEM fitment standards while massively exceeding OEM strength. Precision machining and premium materials ensure long-term reliability, even under aggressive off-road abuse.

Unlike stock components, Black Ops Machine uses 4340 chromoly steel for the housing and support cup, paired with an ultra-strong 300M steel stud. This material combination dramatically reduces flex, deformation, and premature failure—common issues with OEM Talon ball joints.

To protect against harsh riding conditions, the Honda Talon ball joint features upgraded CR/Neoprene dust boots that seal out dirt, sand, and moisture. A 6061 billet aluminum adjustment plate cap allows for easy adjustment and long-term serviceability.

This heavy-duty Honda Talon upper ball joint is fully adjustable, greaseable, and rebuildable, allowing it to be disassembled, cleaned, and re-greased. That means longer service life, better steering feel, and less downtime between rides.

While Black Ops Machine strongly recommends replacing all ball joints at the same time for safety and suspension longevity, this product is sold individually to support custom replacement needs.
