Does anybody know what the "banjo" type connectors are called? I have done various searches for them but it always brings up the hydraulic banjo adapters.  What I am after is the greased type with a rubber boot and a tapped hole in the adapter for taking the connecting rod. The actual banjo bolt is, I expect, part of the assembly.

I'm just doing some work on my GSX1100 EZ to try and get it ready for the summer.  I can buy a used assembly but there is no guarantee it will be any better than what I have (the bike is 40 years old after all).

Cheers

I guess you are looking for gear shift rod end, right?
it's called 'ball joint' or 'ball rose joint' or sometimes more simply (especially on US based websites :-) ) 'shifter rod ends' or 'shift linkage rod ends'.
You can find those quite easily, e.g on fleebay: "https://www.ebay.com/p/19006422042"

As it looks you are located in France, you can order a pair from here (they are not far from Lyon): "https://xtremotoracing.fr/commandes-reculees-repose-pieds/852-103873-lightech-rotule-de-tige-selecteur.html#/1460-lightech_modele-m6_male_droite". They also have related rods, with a choice of lengths available.

The related rubber boots seem not that easy to find, though...

Cheers SpongeBob, got it in one! 

As soon as you said "ball-joint" I made a quick mental note to give myself a good kicking later for being so dozy!  Many thanks for the link, that helps greatly, really appreciated.  The rubber boots would be nice but not such a big deal on a bike I will just ride occasionally, more important on a daily hack in English weather which, thankfully, I don't experience much any more.

Once again, many thanks.
