    Sorry, Bike will never be the same . All the hours wasted figuring and measuring are not worth it, just to have it not perform correctly. This has been calculated long ago by the manufacture , easier said than done but just find you a good rod...

    I received my new Rod from Husqvarna-Parts.com ( Philip) and all looks good. Looking closely I can't see any difference between it and the original. There is no brand name or any markings at all, on either Rod. There is no reason to think it was not made by the OEM manufacture. It "looks" a bit lighter however my postal scale sez its the same. The Pin has a smaller hole threw the Center. The combined weight of the Pin and new Rod is about 1/2 Gram more than the old however the old one is missing some material at the big Bearing surface. 1446330789374-1644028832.jpg 1446330789374-1644028832.jpg
