Re: Traction bars
I was over at novaboy Dave's not too long ago and thumbed through a few lakwood catalogs from 69 anf 70 I think. I was surprised at the variety in 1970. There were several offerings. I'll see if I can get some pics from it.

Re: Traction bars
Paul, can you ask Novaboy if one catalog from 70-74 could be acquired for my display ?
I just picked up an 82 issue for reference and need an older one. Thanks, Tom

Optional on level 2 bars, Standard on period Competition bars and not applicable on base "street bars" or look at me clamp on bars.... I'll leave Paul with a more complete knowledgeable break down.....He's Good ! Tom

Re: Traction bars
Another thing:
Traffic Action = non j-bolt bars Traction Action = street/ strip bars with j-bolts Please don't put Traction Action decals on non-j bolt bars...I have been seeing this recently. Vast majority of bars I have seen over the years at the swaps are Traction Action with the J-bolt option. If bars have the j-bolt option you do not have to run the j-bolts. Original rectangular bars had an extended tail with a welded on tab for spring clamp u-bolt,, later, around mid 70's the extended bar stayed but the rear tab was gone and final version is no extended tab at all. Early to mid 70's all the hardware had a gold tint with black phosphated nuts. |
