We all seem to love what putting on a nice new 90/90-19 does for the handling on our older bikes. But what it does to the looks of the 71 and on bikes well it's just not quite right...
What was OK with and old K-70 just doesn't look so good with a RoadRider on board. Before shot.

So I have made a Bracket from S.S. .100 thick to fix it.
Here it is on the same bike.

Add to this a custom made cable, new linings,phenolic wipers on the dampeners and progressive springs and it's not too bad..
These are not just bent up in vice check out the stack up on 20 pair.
