I just thought it was strange that they make repro trees and they dont drill the hole in them.Is there a reason for that?I can easily drill my own,but just thought it was kind of strange.I mean if they wanted people to buy them for an original bike,it would be nice if you could use the neck lock.You cant really call it a reproduction if it doesnt match perfectly.Its also strange that v-twin would sell a repro frame with neck lock,but not the tree to go in it :?

That would cost the collective production line six more grains of rice and costs are costs.
