I was interested in your magical cast iron pieces and gave serious
consideration to purchase, but your description casts great doubt on
honesty of your claims.  I have posted a question about them here
previously and they were met with skepticism.  Also, I have owned an
'85 Westy and now have an '84, and I must say that disagree with your
observations as both vehicles have very similar steering quality with
the '84 having an edge in comfort due to better shock absorbers.

So, until someone can give me logical and quantifiable explanation
about the alleged superiority of the cast iron design I too shall
remain a skeptic.

Sorry to give you grief, but I learned a long time ago to first submit
ideas to the relentless scrutiny of the list.
