I have a collection of vintage suicide knobs, probably 40-50. I probably won't use one. For my 53 3100 I made a 15" wheel and changed my stock steering ratio to 14.6:1 instead of the stock 22:1 and added EPAS Performance electric P/S. They are super cool. I like the old ones. A small piece of inner tube under the clamp will protect the wheel and keep it from sliding. Some of them came with a rubber pad. Some of them have a release button to swing them out of the way. You have to remember they are there when your wheel is spinning back to center on it's own.


Old enough to know better, too young to resist.
