[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 641355, member: 27963"] Motometal, yeah you're right didnt even think of that scenerio. Nephron, I doubt you are going to see any old time how to's even though they were and still are the best articles out there in my opinion. Most bikes are just too good to have freebie mass improvements. Plus the fact of who buys the magazines what they spend their money on and their wish list. Todays world is just so different in so many respects. Kids are having their bikes bought for them more so then piecing together whatever we can find that might run like how I grew up. Things are so different while we were trying to straighten handlebars and grooving brakes shoes we were drooling and dreaming of the true works bikes in the occasional special feature. Now you can buy a "works " bike for relatively cheap Buy a new Honda, buy the works Showa suspension ,send the motor off for porting, get a pipe, silencer, reed cage and titanium stuff for under what 15,000? Before you would need a welding shop and a machine shop just to keep the darn thing together. Or being able to push the bike a 1/2 mile to the local sandlot or pit and hopefully bumming a ride off of your older brother's buddy , that just happens to ride, to the local race. Now you have RV's with full scoot trailers parked at amatuer events that is usually atleast an hour or two away. Most of us now have better equipment and better haulers,spares ,pressure washers etc etc at the local amatuer level then the pro's did traveling the national circuit then. Unfortunately the mags are only selling what sells and to my utter disappointment of the average American consumer status quo and flash is apparently it. [/QUOTE]
