Welcome to Millennial and Gen Z America. No one works now. Without workers not much is manufactured, shipped, sold, or installed.
Speaking of that, im about to knock a Gen Z tech at our shop right in the kisser for this very thing!

Start calling around to different honda dealers. Some dealers can look at the inventory for other dealers. I did this a few months ago because i couldn't find a driveshaft for my rincon. One dealer gave me a list of about 10 other dealers to try. The first one I called had one on their shelf

I've been meaning to do that but I haven't had the chance yet.

Why not just put in a SATV driveshaft or the other aftermarket offering that's out there? We all know the driveshafts are garbage and fail fairly regularly so why even bother? Warranty is useless if you have to wait months for parts and even more useless when they install just another substandard part. A warranty doesn't help when your 50 miles from your trailer and that part honda just replaced under warranty fails again....

The threat of being fired doesn't concern them. They're looking for an excuse to stay home. And they know how hard it is for owners and managers to fill vacant positions so they'll call your bluff.

I recall SuperATV responding to a post that their CV Joint rear propshaft for the Talon is about ready for production.

For my General...back in 2016, I found a driveshaft shop and they fabricated a set of CV Joint driveshafts for me. 11,000 miles later and one CV joint is getting a little noisy. Replaced it in my efforts to sell the General.

LIke Polaris, I don't understand why Honda didn't go with CV Joints to begin with...
