I just found out my zx200lc H link is twisted after trying to pin on a new bucket. Any of you guys try aftermarket H link? Thanks

You sure the bucket bores are true? I've had a lot of issues lately with new junk from various manufacturers
They broke the bucket ear on this one and twisted it then they tried to straighten and twisted cylinder end made it a little tuffer but it all worked out. It's bad enough to buy replacement but new part was 6 weeks out and there's a payment due on the piece a $$hit.

Depends on the aftermarket source, I have aftermarket suppliers who's products are as good if not better than manufacturer products, I also have suppliers who are there for the more frugal customers who's product isn't as good but the price is a hell of a lot less to offset the quality. You can't say all aftermarket is junk just because 1 piece you bought didn't work, that's like saying all gala apples are sh!t because you got a bruised one once.

Don't worry, it just frustrates me when people berate something with a sweeping comment, sometimes i just vent that frustration sorry. We had a genuine manufacturer part fail spectacularly just a couple of weeks ago, I have spoken with them and the issue is resolved, no fuss no berating the product, sometimes sh!t happens, it's how the problem is dealt with that does it for me.
As for my suppliers, that is a closely guarded secret and the reason we are in business

There's not many pics. of it but this shop designed and built a 3000 ton head press that uses a 6ft. diameter hydraulic cylinder. They also built a smaller 1200 ton head press. If you scroll down to pg. 10 there's a pic. of it.

I've knocked the bushings out, welded up the bores and just machined the mess straight. When you get done, it's probably about the same cost. You are just in control of that cost.
Thank you Sir
I have too but I can usually pull one back in a couple hours
