top ball joints buy oe or after market

[stu]

hi there im going to change my top ball joints,should i buy the oe ones or aftermarket brands.im in the car game and i know you get some cheap ball joints but they dont last.i dont know how much the joints coast yet either so maybe oe are well priced.but if they wear out fast maybe oe are junk anyway.

Hi Stu,
I've always held the opinion that if the OEM parts were good enough to get the bike out of the showroom: they must be good enough to keep it going down the road... :thumbup:
But honestly: I think that this is the first time that aftermarket ball joints have come up in conversation.
Do you know of anyone who is offering them? :dontknow:

Don't seem too expensive. http://www.powersportswarehouse.com...Suspension%2c_Front_%7c%7e24Y1401/91146/91338

thanks for reply.i dont know if aftermarket are available yet.my only concern was the joints on mine have only done about 7000 km and they are shot and i ride really sedately.so i wondered if oe will fail in another 7k.this is my first spyder so i dont know how many ks i should get but 7k seemed a bit low.
