breaking, way back in the eighties? >>
The mags bent easily. My '93 R1100RS oilhead bent a front rim at less than 10
mph going over a steel plate in urban street. Didn't affect handling, rode
another 200 miles at high speed without noticing. Scary to think of what
could have happened. Low profile tires on malleable rims are a bad combo. But
if the rims are too hard (brittle) that's bad too.
