There are arguments here about a lot of things but it pales to the arguments over raked trees on motorcycle forums LOL
LoL
Gosh, I bet !
Those fellows have choppers that sometimes sell for more than a house used to cost!
(I always get a chuckle to see a HD custom in the paper for sale... $30k invested, will sell for $12k OBO... just where does the poor fellow get the idea he was 'investing' money?)
...There's a lot of CNC machinery out there looking for something to do these days. Billet is ez to work with and the job shops are quite able to crank out raked triple trees. After setting a machine up, I'll bet they will defend their position! Structurally it's more sound, and safer than some enterprising fellow
raking the neck by cutting it with a sawzall and sticking it back together with his brand new HF mig welder.
An old friend lost the springer on is trike, years back... and Kenny was already on a trike from the previous crash he'd had! Couldn't yet ride a solo bike. It was another year before he 'almost' healed up. Never was the same.
