I have a 20.6mm stock bar in the front.

Not so. As I understand from Kegel, Metros '94MTX had the 24mm front bar,
and my '94 also has the 24mm front bar STOCK.

That chart on the webpage is not correct. '95 is the year that has the wimpy
bars F&R on the MTX cars.

Could be that the end of the '94 MY the bars became more like '95, but then
both the F&R bars would probably be the 20-20.6 combo like my old '95 had.

93 was the last year that 24mm FSB's were stock on the mtx's. He most
likely has a 20.6 on there.
