Oddly, I saw a Bullitt today, and that obviously has the same bent track rod but to me it looked thicker. I guess the forces involved don't bend it enough to make any sloppiness problematic. I'm still stuck in the 1990s, when Bimota had to get zero flex and zero backlash into the steering linkage of the Tesi to make it work - steering inputs on a Superbike at a race track are clearly several orders of magnitude bigger than trundling around in a single-track wheelbarrow :-)
