Found this chart on a 911 site. Numbers should be the same for 914's. Suprising how much the rate increases with each mm. The difference between the two numbers has to do with where the value of the bar is measured, at the wheel or the bar itself. I did not think that my 21mm bars would have such a high value (227/249)
