Looking for a decent linkage, not the dog bones but the main linkage.
I could do with good bearings and pins that are not marked.
Tried e-bay but all over priced and the one I did buy was in worse condition than mine.
Otherwise I'll be turning my own pins and bronze bushing.

Bantam,

Hang tough for a moment.  Certainly you can make your own parts, but people here have mixed and matched available Honda roller bearings to replace the Yamaha hardware in the shock linkage.  Those guys may chime in here, or you may need to do a Search here for the Part Numbers.

Good luck.

Cheers,

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.
