<div> <font size="3">Pretty much my experience. I had the single piece brackets ( https://mossmotors.com/rear-shock-conversion-bracket-set ) and some generic tube shocks which I bought second hand from someone else who also converted back to levers. I noticed no significant changes when I switched back to the levers.</font><br>
