What tubing have you found that taps well? I've occasionally ran across some heavy wall AL tubing that was OK, but never did stumble on to anything steel tubing that would fit a tap well.

I've seen C&Ced control rods on everything from rat bikes to $100,000 choppers.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

The tubing I use for the forward control linkages is some sort of 3/8 tubing. It taps perfectly for 8X1.25mm or 5/16. All I have to do is walk into "Metal By The Foot" and tell them what I want to do, and in a few minutes I have the perfect piece of material in my hands.
