Just some info on my traction bars. My traction bars have the natural bend in them.(joke). I ordered a new set from Branda. I was suprised to see that they have the M-1 on them. Just FYI. Cheers. Tommy
traction master, the original supplier, is still in business selling the same traction bar. So if Branda is selling T/M's current product it's not actually a typical reproduction. They do differ from the originals in thickness, and some other more minor details. You can buy them direct. http://www.tractionmaster.com/ Z. Ray
The main visible difference I'm aware of is OE bars have the "M-1" cast on the very ends. The newer bars have it cast on the top, or bottom (depending on how you look at it), of the end knob.
