Message: [QUOTE="BadgerMan, post: 898779, member: 21176"] Back in the seventies when the forks started getting longer everyone was putting tape on their handlebars (from the lower bar up to the cross bar) to keep from snagging the brake cable and locking up the front wheel. Eventually, the front plates started coming with the straps molded into them. Late seventies RM's were the first bikes I saw with the more modern looking plates. Most MX'ers just had an oval dinner plate on the front. [URL=http://www.coast-racing.com/photos/vintage%20photos/Herbert%20Schmitz%20%20%20Brad%20Lackey%201977%20USGP.JPG]Here[/URL] [/QUOTE]
