Parts are Designed and Manufactured in-house, in the USA and carry a Lifetime warranty, and the catalog runs to tie rods, radius rods and ball joints with more makes, models and parts added regularly. That focus is why this spec sheet can name a bearing construction and a spacer alloy instead of a slogan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Honda Talon 1000R High Clearance Radius Rod Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to settle before you order: that your machine is a 1000R and not a 1000X, and which finish you want, since machined finished, Black Powder Coat or Powder coated to the color of your choice is decided at build time. On the car, the parts worth looking at next are the ones the arms bolt into — the mounts, bolts and hardware that took every hit the old arms took. Fit the arms, set the adjustable upper rods, then get an alignment check before the first hard ride rather than after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why does the lower arm keep taking damage on my Talon 1000R?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Because it hangs in the path.
