All metal internals vs as much plastic you can get in a springer

The compression tube you hold so dear I view as a cost cutting exersise to save on machining costs giving no realistic advantage over well made two piece compression tubes.

.

Mick can you explain why you view a one piece compression tube machined from a solid bar that cannot leak is a cost cutting exercise

Blimey do they really hog the comp tube out of solid ?

How else can you make a one piece comp tube

If you have a one piece steel spring guide say for a 80 it would be made from a 30 mil. bar.

There are plenty of threads talking about leaking two piece comp tubes
