I've had my V for 6 months now and ride it very hard and I haven't bent a tie rod yet ( knock on wood) but I think I'll start carrying a spare stock one just in case.

 

Yeah, this is an old topic. Some say use stock or more harm will be done mechanically or to your wrists, but mine bent while I was going straight down a dirt road. I used steel tubing on mine. You'll pay more than you want to for beefy aftermarket ones. Mtel tubinbg is cheap.

 

you can get them from JD Performance
They are a nice set up. Tell them Kam from Utah sent you!
They are good people too!
