    OEM crashbar info

    If anyone buys some oem crashbars off ebay, or somewhere, and the spacer isn't included here are some dimensions that will help. .760" L .627" O.D. .450" I.D. ID isn't that critical but the bolt dia. is .386" so it has to be at least that.

    Why do the OEM rotors are segmented or parted

    Today I noticed that my rotors were not one piece parts but rather divided into three parts. I added a picture of a rotor found in Ebay. Initially, I thought that my rear rotor was cracked but then I noticed in Ebay that most or probably all OEM are like that. Why? Any comments?
