I source them from a distributor and have been selling them for few season now. Never got any negative feedback on them. I tell people even if they don't last as long as OEM, you can replace a few times and still be ahead.

$13 a piece online, I always use OEM parts of maintenance. (IMO) aftermarket is no good.

After my last excursion down the 'aftermarket' path when replacing my secondary buttons, I opted to stick with OEM. This is by no means a knock on Travis or Barn of Parts because I have always been 100% satisfied with any and all of my purchases from him. I too was in the same boat when comparing what Yamaha wanted vs what I could get them from Dennis Kirk so I obviously went the cheaper route. Although they were suppose to be the exact same profile as what Yamaha used, I noticed the angled surface of the button that makes contact with the secondary was not the same and also the aftermarket ones had a rounded surface for this angled portion of the button but the OEM appeared to be more flat. Not even sure this would make a difference but I kept the aftermarket ones as an emergency backup and replaced with OEM.

I am running the cheap ones I found online in my apex now 1 season on them so far the boy put about 900 miles on that sled last year. I have not inspected the sled for this next year yet but they made it through the year for sure. I got a box of like 12 or so for I think 15 bucks so I figured I could change them out as often as needed at that price. they are easy to change and inspect.
