Howdy:

Have any of you used "Factory Links" brand linkage/swinger bearing kits?

http://www.factory-links.com/our-products/

They took a stab on announcement/advertising on Vital in 2015: https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/42/topic/new

My bud sent me this link detailing usage of their kits. Beginning of vid:



Packaging looks stellar... Their site lists actual hardness of sleeves, composition of seals, etc.

Language "feels" like a Chinese outfit. Stuff looks good though.

Crazy shit is that they even offer Beta kits. Some dude on TT had a solid experience with them: https://thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1203120-parts-availability/

What say you? I'm thinking of giving them a try. No, not a shill or rep.

My trusted life long bud from the other coast tempted me for my 07' rebuild. He said they were of great quality. I value his opinion... Thusly:

Linkage Bearing Rebuild Kits, Honda CR 125R, 2005-2007, LRK-H-166 × 1 $68.72
Lower Shock Absorber Bearing Kits, Honda CR 125R, 2005-2007, LSA-H-006 × 1 $16.72
Swing Arm Bearing Kits, Honda CR 125R, 2002-2007, SAK-H-341 × 1 $55.84


Subtotal:
$141.28

Shipping:
Free shipping


We shall see. I'll wring his neck if he is wrong wink



I'll be certain to post my experience.

Cool...

Thanks for the info! I wonder why they lack prominence amongst Pivot Works, All Balls, RMATV/Tusk, other mid-line stuff.

My bro says I'll be pleased. I am off on VAC all this week and trust I'll have the parts in hand by Wednesday to fit up. They are just up the road. I'll post pics.
