The progress in materials these days is amazing…
Off-the-shelf products like muffler brackets, heel guards, carbon fiber, titanium…
They’re just sold as standard items…
They’re light and great, right? Back in the day, we’d bend things to create ribs and add strength to thin materials.
Those round holes are called barrels, and when you drill them, you get weight reduction and seriously increased strength.
It’s a great technique.

When you pay attention to these kinds of tricks on frames, swingarms, and brackets,
You might find even more to enjoy?
See you later!
