Aftermarket Birfield Joint

[hpmhanse]

Has anyone used and have a good review of any aftermarket Birfields for 80 series cruisers? I have a 94 cruiser and I have had both birfields rebuilt. I just found out after about 40k miles that one has gone bad already. I'm aware of the Nitro brand. Are they any good or should I just have it rebuilt again?

Thanks,

We have sold and installed a number of the Terrain Tamer replacement birfs as well as knuckle kits, spindles, drive flanges ...... you get the picture.
The quality is top notch as is parts fit and reliability.
I run a cruiser shop so having access to quality parts is essential. Everything that leaves my shop has my name on it. So we can't afford to have issues caused by inferior parts.
I've been very pleased with the Terrain Tamer birfs and parts.

I have a set of TZK ones that came from Japan PN 43405-60120. These do not come the ABS ring ( short birf) but I believe you can pressed them in.
