They were available from Kawasaki when I was refurbing the torque arm but hellish expensive.IIRC

You can get identical rose joints from good bearing suppliers.

I got the boots from Zpower as ours were split.

Thanks, I did wonder if they were just a standard knuckle, 8mm hole 10mm thread, any idea what the little sticky out thing is, I assume its an oiling point. Boots are fine on both of mine too, just re-plated the zinc parts, and now need to paint the arm.

Just a quick update and for those that might be looking, I bought these from McGill motorsports, they are identical to the ones fitted as standard, even have the little brass pip on them, not bad at £10 for both.

I haven't fitted them yet (just got the frame back from the coaters a few days ago), but i couldn't tell the difference and would say they are identical? if they don't last long, not a big job to change them again.
