Universal joint replacement

Gerald said:

Has anyone replaced the u-joint on the driveshaft. I have an 05 rocket and joint seems tight in one direction. Can't find a part number listed for replacement. Was hoping someone had done this and could supply a part number, factory or parts house. Thanks

You are correct, but Gerald's bike is an 05. Both T1270600 and T1270700 are still live parts.
Only trouble is both are listed for Rocket III, Classic and Roadster whereas T1270700 is only one listed for Touring.
Best call a dealer with VIN to dig and see which one is right but most likely the T1270600 one.

i gave it a try but i think the thread disappeared
the way it went was i stated that i thought that the ujoint was a tension ujoint and he stated that i was a _________ ujoint
i have a wore out 05 shaft if u want me to do anything. like measure mike caps or over all measurement.
