Seems I see a lot of both. I know the Stainless Steel ones are more costly. When I used to off-road race we ALWAYS used rubber ones so that they'd flex instead of sheer off if you clipped a rock or something. But we are talking about streetbikes here. My wife just refinished her 1982...

A passion of mine. I just posted a thread about finding early superbike forums, and realized that I have a rather large pile of pretty good pics from that era. Thought I'd share some with the membership here ... :biglaugh: 1977 to about 1983 is my favorite era for Superbike Racing bikes. It...

Hey folks. Well, I think I may have found my *type* of bike design that suits me and my experiences. Now I'm having a heck of a time finding others that share this interest.... I'm a small fry, 5'6"/150lbs. 51 years old and have a background in Grand National/flat track and TT as well as...

Hola! As stated .... 5 foot 6 inches, 150 pounds. Flattraker/jockey sized. In the mid 1980s I had a Harley FXRS. I traded in my Sportster XR1000 for it ... HUGE mistake. Bike was too big for me. Everything sucked ass. I changed the seat, bars, footpegs. Seems no matter what I did the...
