Why not keep looking for a set of nicer unrestored bars to stay with the theme? You are only interested in this style? Second question, what is the presumed benefit of unequal length traction bars?

Because I am a tightass and I have these and thought they would work for my setup. I've had others over the years and sold them. I like them as they are unique. From my understanding due to the pass side axle receives the initial power that the thought of moving the snubber location further up the spring would benefit more. Obviously it didn't last that long in production as there was no real signs it made a difference. I have another set that a friend gave me years ago and they were both lengthened towards the eye of the spring but once I purchased these I decided to give those back to my buddy.

I do need to find a pair of the twisted plates and J bolts for this style mount as this was before the strap was added to Lakewood bars. So if anyone has a pair and interested in selling them please pm me.
