Hi
They are most useful in drag race type start or in off road where you would get wheelspin, they stop the chassis forks from flexing up & down when power is applied. Much nicer than a tramp bar

Craig, the bars look great. One question/suggestion though...have you considered whether there should be some flats machined into the end of the aluminium bars to allow a spanner to be used to hold them when tightening the locking nuts? I suppose they wouldn't move too much if you had the locking nut at the opposite end on and snug up to the end of the bar...perhaps for version 2?

The bars don't need the flats as holding it by hand enables the nut to be tightened.....as well as what you mentioned re the nut on the opposite endghiaguy wrote:Craig, the bars look great.

To give the bar "pre tension" is also easy by hand, in fact the shock towers can be pulled in by more than 5mm a side by doing it this way !
If I put flats on it then people will potentially over tighten and then strip threads !
Thanks for the feedback though as I want everyone to be happy with the product 😎
