  • Stainless Steel

Manufactured to Imzz Elite specifications.

Made in the USA.

Shift linkage assembly and other components are not included.


Why Upgrade Your Harley Shift Linkage Bolts?

Your shift linkage is a small but important part of your motorcycle's control system.

It's also an area where factory hardware can become scratched, discolored, or weathered over time.

And when you've invested in upgraded foot controls, billet shift linkages, or a custom engine setup, ordinary mounting hardware can look out of place.

The Imzz Elite ARP Shift Linkage Bolt Kit gives you a straightforward way to replace compatible mounting bolts with premium 12-point hardware.

Small Upgrade. Clean Finish.

  • Replace worn or weathered shift linkage mounting bolts

  • Upgrade to premium ARP 12-point fasteners

  • Coordinate with other ARP hardware on your motorcycle

  • Complement compatible billet shift linkages and custom foot controls

  • Choose between Black Oxide and Stainless Steel

  • Add a clean finishing detail to your shifting controls

Because a finished build is about more than the big-ticket parts.


Premium ARP 12-Point Hardware

ARP is known throughout the automotive and motorcycle performance industries for precision-manufactured fasteners.

For this kit, Imzz Elite specifies ARP 12-point bolts for compatible Harley-Davidson shift linkage mounting applications.

The distinctive 12-point head creates a purposeful, performance-inspired appearance that complements other premium hardware throughout your motorcycle.

Whether you're building a performance bagger, cleaning up a Dyna, or customizing a Softail, the right hardware helps tie the details together.


Choose Your ARP Finish

Black Oxide

Prefer a darker, understated look?

Black Oxide ARP bolts complement black shift linkages, dark foot controls, and blacked-out motorcycle builds.

Black Oxide is a conversion finish applied to steel hardware.

Important: Black Oxide is not rust-proof and requires routine maintenance to preserve its appearance.

Stainless Steel

Want a brighter hardware finish?

Stainless Steel provides a clean contrast against black components and complements polished, machined, and stainless hardware throughout your motorcycle.

Stainless steel offers inherent corrosion resistance, although routine cleaning is still recommended.

Choose the finish that works with your build.


Designed for Compatible Harley-Davidson Shift Linkage Applications

This kit is intended for select Harley-Davidson shift linkage mounting configurations, potentially including compatible:

  • Dyna applications

  • Softail applications

  • Touring applications

  • Milwaukee-Eight (M8) models

Important Fitment Information

Harley-Davidson shift linkage mounting arrangements vary by motorcycle model, year, and foot control configuration.

Factory and aftermarket shift linkages may also use different hardware.

This kit should not be assumed to fit every Dyna, Softail, Touring, or Milwaukee-Eight motorcycle.

If your motorcycle has aftermarket foot controls, a custom shift linkage, or modified mounting components, confirm compatibility before purchasing.

  • Shift linkage replacements

  • Custom motorcycle builds

Installation Notes

Before installing your ARP Shift Linkage Bolt Kit:

  1. Confirm the supplied bolts match your motorcycle's shift linkage mounting requirements.

  2. Inspect the shift linkage and related components for wear or damage.

  3. Follow the appropriate Harley-Davidson or aftermarket component manufacturer's installation instructions.

  4. Use the correctly sized 12-point socket and specified tightening procedure.

  5. Verify that the shift linkage is securely attached and moves freely.

  6. Confirm proper shift control operation before riding.

Do not assume that all Harley-Davidson shift linkages use the same bolt dimensions or tightening specifications.

Improperly secured shift linkage hardware can interfere with shifting or cause loss of shift control.


Black Oxide ARP Hardware Care

Black Oxide is a conversion finish applied to steel fasteners.

A light protective oil is typically used after finishing to help reduce corrosion.

Why Are My Black Oxide ARP Bolts Oily?

A light oil coating is normal and helps protect the surface during storage and handling.

Will Black Oxide ARP Bolts Rust?

Yes, corrosion can develop if the hardware is exposed to moisture, road grime, or neglected maintenance.

Black Oxide is not a rust-proof finish.

Don't Wait Until Rust Appears.

To help maintain the appearance of your Black Oxide ARP hardware:

  • Clean the hardware regularly

  • Dry thoroughly after washing your motorcycle

  • Remove road grime and moisture promptly

  • Periodically apply a light protective oil. We love Silikroil!

  • Use a lightly treated cloth for routine maintenance

  • Increase maintenance frequency in wet or humid conditions

Preventative care is easier than trying to restore the finish after oxidation or rust has developed.

Keep your hardware protected from the beginning.
