is there a market? I have a line on a few sets, 17mm. I know people typically "upgrade" to a larger size but what about those that just want to bring it back to (like) stock?

I think some qualitative testing of old bars would tell a lot. Are our OE bars losing spring rate? How much? If I knew that, I would be much more likely to recommend them.
Seems like a not-too-complicated, homemade jig would tell a lot. Maybe install polyurethane bushings in a stock a arm, hang a specific weight from the ball joint mount, than measure the deflection. Then compare 10 to 15 randomly selected old bars. |
