In my estimation, no one can guarantee one of those lightweight tabs won't 
bend or crack since they are now typically taking bigger side-loads from wider 
stickier modern tires. And since the whole idea with these bars is to stiffen 
up the rear suspension, I don't think the rear is any stiffer than with a stock 
bar. Until someone does real chassis-stiffness testing, this seems to be a 
way of spending money without improving the machine except in looks. My 
opinion-J DeRyke
