Oh yeah...that's definitely much cooler! But makes it a bit more difficult to go back to shocks if you decide rigid is not for you.

 

I think thats the one thing I like with the direction I'm going with my bike, If I ever wanted to go back to the stock look, I could. I bought a springer seat along with that easy to install mount so if I ever want to go on long trips I could always just put the old seat back on.

 

solid is weaker. ask an engineer.

 

No it is not. Given identical physical dimensions, solid rod is stronger. Per weight, hollow is stronger.

 

Here is a set from Twisted Choppers. I just might get these to see how they look.

fair enough.

i still wouldn't buy one built of solid rod. its not the right material for the job.

 

I dont know about these, kids my start running after you, thinking their twizzlers or something lol.

 

Those are cool!!

 

Dude! cmone.. Put one of these in a vise and beat it with a sledge hammer to try to break off one of those eyelets.. I guarantee you that rod is going to keep bending in circles until the rod or the eyelet itself actually breaks... Leaving the weld intact...... Well ok if I welded them they would...LOL..

I just bought some of the ebay specials.. I love the mreed ones, seriously those are awesome Mike! but sadly im on a real tight budget now..

 

I love my back the way it is,
went with burly slammers on the 48,
