Re: [RBW] Re: Iron on patches

Les, they are the original WTB dirtdrops from way back. I think I bought them new in the late eighties or early nineties. They are heat treated so I am pretty sure Nitto made them. I like them ok. I have gone through a bunch of bars, and still haven't found the perfect one yet. My perfect bar? I
