[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 47470, member: 2806"] Duly noted. Also, the imprecision that afflicts us all when dashing off something on the internet is why I wrote that I didn't intend my reply to come across as harsh. The history of the development of the motorcycle is directly linked to the history of advances of materials technology over the past century. Shortly after a better material is developed some of the first applications have been found in airplanes and in motorcycles in ways that improved their performance. As better materials are developed they quickly displace whatever was used previously (e.g. Co steel > W steel > Alnico > SmFeCo > ...). The Al alloys available today have improved properties over the Duralumins of 60 years ago. Still, even though better-than-OEM Girdraulics can be made today using these alloys and CNC machining, I still enjoy having information about what those old alloys were and how the blades were forged.
