Traction bars --- KL & BP

Here's a real design for the community. These actually work!!! As opposed to that horizontal design along the LCA which physically cannot actually aid in increasing traction in a forward line. im simply baffled by how the previous seller could have gotten away with selling a part like that & cal...
