I believe its called a flip rod and I think they were only used on the 90-92 top frames

Just wanted to let you know that I now have a new and improved version of the Flip Rods available on my web site. These are a direct-fit for the OEM version. You have the option of ordering a pair of Right and Left or ordering just the one that broke.

Here is a link to the Tech Article that I wrote back in 2001 which is posted here on TGO:

I hope this helps.
