    I was searching for a KTM 360

    anybody ever buy from them?
    curious if they are 1st rate products

    Can't vouch for them but see they make then for 125/250/300's too. I'm sure they'd be fine. Heck at least it ain't Chinese!

    There were 2 different KTM 360 rods. The '96 version was 3mm shorter than the '97 version. I think you can still get the '97 version from AOMC. Their web-address is ktm-parts.com

    Only issue is still waiting for a piston they said was in stock
    So if they say they have a rod take it with a grain of salt
    Besides this one is less than half price

    Royal Rods are also sold as Mitaka/Aoki Racing parts.
    I used them without any problems- so far i would only avoid Wiseco and Hotrods as i had several Conrods/complete Crankshafts of them going wrong shortly after beeing installed.
    I never had any Problems with ProX, Wössner and Royal/Mitaka/Aoki Rods

    a few years ago i bought an Kawasaki KX60 in a basket case- i used the royal rod and a mitaka piston for the rebuild and gave the bike to my niece.
    As she didnt had any dirtbike experience she sometimes just didnt shift and instead held the throttle wide open making the engine reved up so much... this was when i realised these parts are really well made ;-)
