will,

thanx for your time and reply.

seeing as you have had some positive experience with the bigger bar in front
that is encouraging. do you think that the process was that the front bar
was keeping the rear flat and planted, thus improving your handling? do you
recall what/where you got the bar?

regards,
terry
