Yep... Discontinued :o

PIN,4X23.8
92043-1373
Even though Kawasaki sold only one pin for the hinge, we used the same pins for the center flapper 8-)
But, no more... So, what can be done?

We were using 4mm D2 Drill rod.
And it works.
But it seems to wear quicker than the stock pins
I was talking to Jeff Grabarger multi time KX500 Drag Champion about the issue and he turned me on to 4mm Drill blanks.
They are HARD :D
But... it will likely wear the drum valve slot faster than the D2 so there is a trade off.
Drums are going to be sold for a premium very soon as they will be discontinued.
So think twice before using the Drill blanks...
