    I was syncing my carbs after the rebuild and the ball on my upper linkage stopped off. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement?

    Thanks. If I have to I will get the whole privet. I am hoping to just replace the ball but I don't think that will happen.

    Well that 's a crappy bit of luck.....and it is swagged; you can see the swagged part of the post that lives on the opposite side of the pivot just above the area Lee circled (I just happen to have mine on the bench atm). If that were mine Lee, for $230 I'd be tempted to drill out what's left of the stud and explore the website Mark posted the link to and see if you can find a bolt-on replacement. Good luck.

    Just dremel the back of the stud so the upset part is gone and it will tap right out, then just use a standard balloted and nut.

    Wow thanks everyone for the help. I did planed on drilling it out but was having tremble finding an 8mm ball. I have found a used lever for $150 but if the two that @miked posted would work that would be better. I could do both at the same time to make sure the other is not going to snap also. Here is a good picture of one.
